Highway through a Building Story ★ ONLY in JAPAN
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 มี.ค. 2017
- Osaka's Gate Tower Building is an amazing sight to see because ... well, how should I put this? A highway goes through the building.
It literally does, and there is a story behind it.
In this episode, John not only goes inside to see where the elevator takes him, he also drives through it -- in a Lotus Seven. We'll also go up the Umeda Sky Building and catch some fantastic angles of the city, skyline and Gate Tower Building.
THE STORY:
Here it is from the building owner.
It’s basically a land rights dispute with a sort of happy ending.
The property was owned by a business (coal and wood company) since the early Meiji era but when business declined, so did the buildings in the 1970s. The area was approved to be redeveloped in 1983 but the property holder refused to give up the land, even though new building permits had been refused to him. The highway corporation and the property owner negotiated for 5 years and what you see today is their compromise. Highways usually buy the land they’re on but a new law in 1989 allowed the possibility of having two owners on the same spot, really meant for highways to go underground but hey - let’s get creative.
The highway is the legal tenant of floors 5 through 7.
The current building tenant on the other floors is TKP.
WHERE IS THE BUILDING WITH THE HIGHWAY THROUGH IT?

Closest Station: JR Fukushima Station
It's one stop away from JR Osaka Station on the Loop Line.
Special thank you to TKP and the building owners for allowing me to film inside the building.

Why is there a comment by the creator from a video made over 2 years ago.
@@BBGOnYT I was wondering the same
japan is nice
i japan come
ONLY in JAPAN the right building
I'm equally impressed by the fact that they have a highway standing 8 stories high
underappreciated comment
Super common in japan but yeah it’s super weird to drive on it
They also have the world's most expensive toll fee
What else were they gonna do lmao
I love the curves of that highway tunnel.
This is what happens when you solve disputes like mature people.
Lol explain further
@@Random-eh8tr ok
@@Random-eh8tr the building didn't get destroyed and the highway got built,
It's a win win.
@@user-hi3lv1bu7l Do you think they just dig a hole in the middle of a existing building?
It's all fun and games until road construction season
2:15 "The highway is the legal tenant of floors 5 through 7"
Landowner: "HEY HIGHWAY!!! YOU BETTER PAY YOUR RENT THIS MONTH OR I'LL EVICT YOU!"
😂
You'll get your rent when you fix the damn door!
I’m guessing that was the whole point. Making the highway the tenant means the owner gets a regular payment from the government for the highway going through their land which is fair enough. I would think that this means that Japan doesn’t have eminent domain laws otherwise the government would have just repossessed the property and gave the owner bugger all in compensation.

That's your opinion naturally. But it depends very much on the point of view of each individual.
Why do you use language like this outside your home ?? Shame on you !
Watch your language please.
I think this is an example of that "problem solving" they were looking for in Architecture school.
No matter how many natural disasters they faced, they endured everything and always aimed high. I really wish to visit this country and meet its good hardworking people. nihon wa sugoi desu!😘😍😍

i do not understand why you feel proud of that. Do you work at the company which built this road or building?
do you think ordinary US people feel proud when people(not american) tell facebook is a great company
but japanese tend to like to hear

why did you feel proud?
you are just japaneae,right
what if you built that road
i need to say sorry
What the heck are you talking about? He(Tigerkem) said that "Japan never ceases to amaze me ".
Don't you feel that his comment would be proud of Japanese huh??

What makes John's videos go from good to fantastic is the fact that he doesn't just show you what you came for, he also shows other cool things that aren't exactly related to the topic but are still fascinating. For example in this video, he doesn't just go through the gate tower building, he also goes through it in a unique and funky looking car as well as showing the Umeda sky building near bye. It's like reverse click bait where they show what you came for at the last few minutes and the rest of the video is about random crap that isn't anywhere near as interesting as what you came for. The fact that John does the exact opposite of that is one of the main reasons why I subscribed to the Channel!
Keep putting the dedication you do in your videos john, your high quality content is more than worth the wait!

I know this is a minor detail but just going to add it in anyway - That Lotus 7 is actually a Caterham 7, Lotus stopped producing the car under their name after '73 when the designs were sold to Caterham (a well-known British kit car company). Its the same car essentially but under a different brand.
I always love the little details so thanks for that! -john

Rajenderduttsharma Sharma Can I help you?
This looks straight out of Cyberpunk. Can definitely see where they got a lot of inspiration from
Osaka: We have a highway going through a building
Chongqing: *Hold my monorail*
Line 2 of Chongqing's transit system has a station called Liziba. Like the Gate Tower and the Hanshin Expressway, the building and Line 2 were both built at the same time. Also like the infrastructure in Osaka, the monorail on Line 2 was made in Japan, made by Hitachi. To make sure station noise wasn't a problem, they built in specialized noise reduction equipment to make sure you wouldn't hear the station from the residences or vice versa
Great video. I'm always impressed by your production quality. Thank you for making this.
Japan always amazes me.Wish I will visit there.

Not the only one. I was in Chongqing summer 2008 and there was a building with a elevated electric train going through it.
3:54 imagine screwing up your job just the moment the president of your company passes right through you and you didn’t even see him haha
No
How did the guy screw up? Also, do you know what the CEO of your company looks like? Would you recognize their car if you drove by it?
What a fun little episode. I love how Japan always takes initiative to do unique things, like this compromise. In America, they likely would have just built the highway around the building, making a story like that dispute fade away into history with nary a mention. This video really highlights that, along with the one about Eshima Ohashi Bridge. :-)
Ah! The Eshima Ohashi Bridge!! Now that was an adventure as well :) -john
I can imagine even so much more in person, as just the video alone was terrifying!! You were like a superhero, biking up and down that thing! That Eshima Ohashi Bridge episode was my very first ONLY in JAPAN video, John, and after that, I was completely hooked. :-)
By the way, that 1996 Lotus 7 you were driving in... AMAZING! Love it.
But that tanker passing by was a bit scary in an open top like that ^_^;;
Have seen 2 other examples; but not as artistic or sound proof as this... In NYC an old elevated railway went thru one side of a building and has been converted into a popular pedestrian stroll and joggers run, with masses of trees and tall grasses .... In Montreal they widened downtown St. Catherines street and put 2 lanes thru the bottom floors of a handsome old building .... Osaka seems to be making max use of every square inch. In fast speed all these layers and levels of trains and cars moving look very futuristic .... Japan's tourism board should be hiring John Daub, if they haven't already .. He's finding fascinating things no one has ever shown, and has a sense of how best to video it. Like doing the bridge from a bicycle,. Don't think I have ever seen such masterful use of modern camera gadgetry. ... Am seeing here one thing we could learn from Japan: that by building elevated roads and railways 4 to 8 stories high, not too many lanes, it leaves much more light at street level . In US and Europe it is too often a creepy, dark no-man's land under elevated transport, too squat and too wide ... and much of it being removed, or the public preventing that style of construction altogether
This is the perfect episode to say : "only in Japan"! 👍
In my country Kenya the govt don't negotiate! They'll take down the building
Mutua Brian😁😁😁 si uongo...

🤣🤣 with this one they won't even ask for a bribe !
They will tell you "na uwache ujinga boss"
Indeed........ a good example Taj Mall.... which was just inches to the road was reduced to dust. This is kenya

I walked by this building randomly last time I went to Osaka. It’s really weird, but cool.
Kudos for the architects and engineers who designed and built that cool-looking building. Japan is frankly another world like it or not. That's the main reason why the chinese are so envious of Japan. Shall we ever see an expressway going through Trump Tower or any other building in Manhattan?
