Not anymore, Japan has one of the highest birthrates in Asia now.

You mean, the rest of the Asia has gone below even further? Also, birthrate isn't the only factor, and birthrate of Japan is highest among developed Asian countries, it's not highest overall

You're right, I was thinking east Asia when I said "Asia" and should have been clearer, and it's more that Japan's has fallen the slowest

Yeah, mostly because they've got no more births to reduce lol. Keep in mind these are the worst countries in Asia, though. There's still plenty that have decent birth rates (for now)

Yea I mentioned in another comment I should have clarified "east Asia" in the original comment. The rest of the southern and western asian continent have much higher birthrates.
