Simple answer: no space on land
Plenty of land, even in Japan. It's more a question of suitable land near urban areas. That's a hard find.
@@williamtell5365 And you bet the Japanese people will protest, just like Narita.
And Japanese police can't shoot them
Actually, the trend did not occur only in Japan, it goes globally given the polarization in Politics, and land acquisition could mean another flash point for political dispute, therefore many countries ended up choosing to build airports on the sea when available, like South Korea.
The problem about Narita predates the post-trump "polarization". In fact, the first generation of Narita-naysayers have deep Soviet Union sympathizer background.
Hongkong actually seeded their airport from a tiny island, which they used to name the airport “Chep Lap Kok”
*Chek
Hong Kong’s international airport was built on artificial land but originally composed of small islets on South China Sea.
Japan is a very rugged and mountainous country, meaning there's very little flat land available for the massive airports that serve Japan's ever growing cities and urban areas/metropolises.
All regions of Japan are shrinking in population including Tokyo.
@@TheNobleFiveOk.. Its still overpopulated. Only 75 years ago the population of the Japanese empire was 40 million on the mainland.
It is now 125 million. For reference California is a near clone of Japan in size and usable geography but has a population 3x smaller. If you live in California you know even 40 million is overpopulated.
Its time for Japan to take back Chyna
@@user-pn3im5sm7kcalifornia isn’t really overpopulated they just have a very terrible and American use of land which takes up a lot of space but it is far from the densest part of the country. the northeast is far more dense and even there isn’t really that dense compared to densities you get in Europe and obviously asia with japan
@@shaddythewiz3836 ?
I assume you have not been to the main cities in California? Even smaller ones like Carlsbad are pretty bad too. I'm born and raised in Cali and trust me it is overpopulated, and people arent leaving fast enough. Left that place like 20 years ago.
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.
Did you ever ride the Baguio or Dumaguete flight before in the 80’s it can be compared to Kai Tak airport 😊Kansai I was able to get a flight by NWA from Detroit numerous times it’s very nice all glass walls and steel , Now they say it sinking a bit but Japan trying everything to prevent it
Tokyo Haneda actually once built in beach area, however the expansion means they need doing reclamation to archive that.
is this channel narrator ai? if so it's very impressive and it seem really realistic on recent videos. but still, why are you using ai? it's so noticeable.
idk if its just me but the narrator sounds like Text to speech generator. It's... off.
Pronunciation is questionable.
Many videos on RUclips are text to speech including this one.
Simple answer: Earthquakes
actually, a few other reasons as well
Ahktually.....
no… in case of Japan, they cannot handle people’s resistance ….Narita was already bad enough experience for Japanese government.
@@ilhamrj2599 China be like : People resistance ? What happened to your police forces and military?
@chairmanxijinpooh8392 South Korea be like : we have 50 million people living in half of the peninsula almost the same size of Kyushu island
Good video but some of the things pointed out aren't true. A water landing CAN be less hazardous, if you're taking into account landing lakes or rivers but the ocean is a different beast which all those airport islands are surrounded by. Landing in the ocean is much more treacherous than land because of waves. The ocean is never still.
I mean, it's not exactly the open ocean. It's a bay, which generally isn't as rough as the ocean.
She said “airport on water” once every 10 seconds
I've never heard someone pronounce "Kansai" that bad.
Repeatly mispronouncing "scarcity" is pretty bad too.
Its text to speech
Most of this channel might just be AI generated
How about Kobe? 😬 That hurt every time.
Ohh wait, so the sea/ocean is no local ecosystem.
Fair point, because when the Japanese try to relocate MCAS Futenma to Henoko Bay near Nago, Okinawa, environment issues did came up to bite back.
Exactly, this was my thought as well.
For instance, the airport expansion in Hong Kong jeopardised local dolphin habitats.
i believe HNL was the first offshore runway known as the “reef runway”
Traffic and space was my original guess. I see airports like Chicago and Atlanta they will have rough time expanding
What about fog and bird strikes? That was a major reason why London abandoned its project to build an airport in the Thames Estuary.
They never mentioned Central international Airport located in Aich prefecture in Japan.
Yeah, even though it was shown right at the beginning of the video it wasn't explicitly mentioned.
Does anybody know the name of the village in 01:34?
It's in Yama-dera, Yamaga Prefecture, Japan. Very scenic hike especially during autumn foliage.
@@theazraaiazuha almost there! Yamagata pref.
This video was brought to you by chatgpt and text to speech.
The design looks cool tbh
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).
Japan = very honorable Country (=my friends) love 👍👍👍
Really putting the port in airport
4:34
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.
Why Does Japan Build Airports On Water? --- I think the better title is "Why is it built of reclaimed land areas?" because most of the examples you mentioned are made on "land reclamation"
The statement that a water landing can be less hazardous than landing on land is not true. As the airport is surrounded by ocean, waves can pose significant damage to the aircraft, which could result in a much worse situation. In most water landings, the aircraft will not stay upright, and the waves will cause a dangerous situation when the engine contacts the water, which leads to more injuries.
Bro just made a transition 😳 4:18 - 4:21
3:17 Is that a voice crack I hear?
AI voice crack lmao
Simple they have the technology and capability to do it
Can you make one about the Philippines: New Manila International Airport and Subway
Wtf
Ew
Manila Airport is trash. Cebu has the best Airport in the Philippines.
Scare-City
Too long; didn't watch: Land is limited/expensive/difficult to acquire.
Simply because they don't have enough land 😅
Unfortunately these airports are easily damaged by tsunamis (Sendai airport in 2011 is the case)
Lets hope they advanced in technology enough to create more resilient reclamations
Anything next to the ocean is easily damaged by tsunamis, not just airports
They is just stationary very large aircraft carriers
"Why Does Japan Build Airports On Water?" - because building on land is old fashion!!! 😂🤣😅😂
It cam be submarine bomber air port less likely being attack during war time
Japan is the most developed country in the world. Europeans might cringe but it's a fact.
Why not?
Because tourists tend to be from... over-seas
3:14 ?
So it’s a great idea until it sinks into the water, or sea levels rise. Got it.
But water also has an ecosystem, and fish and what not.
Sebab boleh dik
Y’all should see what Lopez Obrador did when a beautiful airport was being built on a dry lakebed and his friends and him weren’t getting their cut
3:17 “it alLOwS”
Why can people never pronounce Kobe right ? 😂
“scar”city
???
Nice idea. It would be a shame if a tsunami came along...
The pronunciation ...
Meanwhile, Fukuoka airport...
that is actually very rare case in japan. but for me it is very convenient because I can get to city center in like 10 mins. but if fukuoka becomes more popular, they will be forced to move the airport else where
Many major land based airports in Japan used to be an military air base back when the city wasn't too dense. Building airport from existing airbase is easier than building airport from ground up in modern era. Fukuoka airport, Nagoya komaki airport, and Osaka itami airport are some example of the major airport growing from military airbase. However, there are limit on how airport can grow. Both Itami and Komaki were already replaced by Kansai and Chubu centrair respectively. And Fukuoka is overcrowded at the moment (at least before covid) and govt has been looking for ocean based alternative. The plan to build fukuoka ocean based airport was blacklashed from environmentalists tho.
@@hunterkiller009 you are right. most of the airports were close to city center back in the time but in case of fukuoka it is rare for such a scale of metropolis in japan. I wish it wont be same as other regions.
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.
1:59 that is not how you write square metres!!!
Don’t forget Chubu Centrair in Nagoya.
If you’re going to use the AI voice of a native English speaker, at least make the English sound native…
This video only touched it briefly on 2:57, but the most important reason is Narita Airport issue back in 1960s to 80s.
Google "Sanrizuka Struggle" for more info - It was basically local farmers got angry on the government's arrogant attitude and decision to buy their farm lands to build the new airport for Tokyo, so they fiercely resisted the construction, and co-operated with communist activists, which then lead those activists doing terrorist attacks to government officials / forces, resulting too much obstacles, delays and even a few deaths.
Because of this bitter memory, Japan now has simply no choice but to build airports on water. All the other merits are secondary.
Of course, you could still say the reason why the farmers got so angry in the first place, can ultimately traced back to the fact the available land is scarce in Japan. But I expected the video touches more on the Narita Airport issue if it's titled "Why Does Japan Build Airports On Water?"
Such terrible grammar. Was over 80% ai generated.
Nuclear :v
Simple answer: airports take up a lot of room. There isn't a lot of room in Japan.
A long video just to say one thing
No land
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
You do understand that building on water is WORSE for the environment because it destroys aquatic ecosystems, which have more life, and there is a larger environmental impact to the construction, right?
Tokyo, Hong Kong and Singapur are one Region? 🤨
Kobe (as a japanese city) pronounced "Ko-Bae" not "Ko-bee"
It’s pronounced as ko-be, not ko-bae.
Japan doesnt read be as bae. Syllabic doesnt have that pronunciation.
@@joshuaalzaga5878 in Japanese romaji yes. But I am talking about english speaker here who has no clue about romaji or any japanese pronunciation.
Koh-beh, would be a more accurate pronunciation.
Becuse they are outta room
Low effort AI channel
WTF?! what about the sea ecosystem? what? the sea its an lifeless place with no life in it i guess
What is up with this AI narration in these videos now? Repetitious and redundant sentences.
Sorry I cant stand the butchering of the Japanese place names in this video
