Umagae Street Size:L The Smith Street building servedRendered concrete and weathered weatherboard buildings line both sides of a narrow road through Umagae Street in Yubari on a wet winter day. Power lines cross overhead, and two traffic cones sit on a collapsed blue tiled forecourt to the left. At peak, Yubari's population reached 107,972; fewer than 6,000 people remain today.
