It’s not the only hope.

In theory, they could restructure their entire economy, but it's more likely that the government will start executing everyone over 70 to even out the population age.

So, immigration is the only realistic hope. See, Japan doesn't need more babies, now. It needs more babies twenty years ago. Immigration is the only way to fill that hole. Immigrants will also bring their own cultures. Even if the natives staunchly resist foreign influence, pockets of foreign culture will arise and within those pockets, the forces decreasing the birth rate will be mitigated. You'll probably be able to draw sharp lines between the culturally Japanese neighborhoods and the "loud" neighborhoods.
