A modest 1.3% net change can mean flat, or it can mean volatile-and-round-tripped. This series is the latter — check the middle years before calling it stable.
Check the source link for methodology before quoting a specific year from this chart — Japan's underlying statistics agency, like most, revises and re-estimates historical figures as better data comes in.
Remember this chart covers urban population only. The rural figure for the same indicator can move in a completely different direction — worth comparing both before generalizing.
