There is no doubt that Japan is home to a few of engineering marvels, bullet trains, underwater tunnels, and plenty more. but the most extreme one is the airports that they build on water. they invest billions of dollars on these airports. find out why? in the video.

no no wait
the real question is why is Japan still dumping nuclear waste into ocean even though countries like china and US offered special cement mixers to cover up the nuclear power plant

What a wrong information.
In 1995, Kobe Airport didn't even exist. (It was opened in 2006.)
Exactly there was two artificial islands in Kobe (the Port Island, the Rokko Island) and they were severely damaged and people found that earthquake causes liquefaction phenomenon in the landfill.
Sebab boleh dik
Tokyo, Hong Kong and Singapur are one Region? 🤨
3:14 ?
Anyone who knows Hong Kong's geography and remembers Hong Kong's previous airport knows why the new airport had to be built in the water. Hong Kong is very hilly and had sky scrapers right next to the previous airport. It was one of the most dangerous airports to take off and land.
1:59 that is not how you write square metres!!!
So it’s a great idea until it sinks into the water, or sea levels rise. Got it.
Simple answer: airports take up a lot of room. There isn't a lot of room in Japan.
Some breeds of chicken or should i say rooster . Puff their chest and feathers during mating . Floating airports are just japan doing the sane thing . Trying to look bigger . The worlds a beautiful place from space . It’s interesting to see how millions of years of tectonic pressures and plate shifting have sculpted the land masses . I think changing the shape of anything seen from space is a “scar on the face “ of god’s perfection . Shouldnt be happening . Dubai started that , then china now Iran . Soon the view from space will resemble squares and circles. Shapes god would never use .
What is up with this AI narration in these videos now? Repetitious and redundant sentences.
The design looks cool tbh
Why can people never pronounce Kobe right ? 😂
Japan is the most developed country in the world. Europeans might cringe but it's a fact.
Simple they have the technology and capability to do it
“scar”city
???
Even without the political aspects of land reclamation, building on water has the advantage of being more future-proof if done right. These economies are all advanced and can afford to foot the bill. Even though it's more expensive you don't have to claim nearby land to plan for future airport expansion to meet demand when you build on the water. This land (especially in places like Hong Kong and Singapore) is arguably more expensive than building on the water alone. Plus, it also means that if you don't have to build a new airport from scratch if you run out of space on land (similar to Kai Tak which had no room to grow).
Nuclear :v
Becuse they are outta room
But water also has an ecosystem, and fish and what not.
A long video just to say one thing
No land
"Why Does Japan Build Airports On Water?" – because building on land is old fashion!!! 😂🤣😅😂
Really putting the port in airport
Simply because they don't have enough land 😅
They is just stationary very large aircraft carriers
Sorry I cant stand the butchering of the Japanese place names in this video
Land politics is a complete mess in most countries. Trying to find enough suitable land in or near a urban area even if the land can be found is hardly the only issue. Then there is the issue of can they even acquire the land and develop the land as needed without serious kickback from an angry populace. Any local representatives want to keep their odds high for re-election, forcing thousands off their land for a massive development while also forcing thousands others to now live near an extremely noisy major development is very unpopular with the people and thusly can endanger election odds so local representatives can in many cases be quite resistive to an airport in their district.
So due to the mess that is land politics on a local level, it is exceptionally easier to go about proposing and getting approval to construct these on the water vs on land. The Osaka airport is numerous miles away from the shoreline for example, airports are noisey, need a wide berth for expansion opportunities and an eye sore to the average local. Far better to keep it out of sight and out of mind to the local population.
