Towards the crisis of increasing elderly population in 2025, reforming the medical care system is an urgent issue. The purpose of this paper is to clarify Japan’s regional differences in medical supply and demand in 2025 by focuses mainly on secondary medical areas. The data used for this analysis is taken from the “number of necessary beds in 2025” estimated by the prefecture governments in 2017 in the “Regional Health Vision”. Regional differences are examined through categorizing the hospital beds per 100,000 population by quartiles among 341 secondary medical areas. As a result, regional disparities remain in the medical supply and demand even in 2025.
