0:00Construction of Shizuoka's section of

0:02Japan's 500 km/h high-speed maglev line

0:06linking Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka was

0:09approved by the governor on July the

0:117th. The decision marks a key step

0:14towards creating a 2 trillion US dollar

0:16mega region connecting Japan's three

0:19largest metropolitan areas. Our

0:21correspondents in Japan reports.

0:28>> Shizuoka Governor Yasutomo Suzuki has

0:30approved the project and said the

0:32prefecture will sign an agreement with

0:34JR Central to preserve the natural

0:36environment. The maglev line is expected

0:39to connect the Tokyo metropolitan area,

0:42the Chukyo region around Nagoya, and the

0:44Kinki region including Osaka and Kyoto

0:48forming a mega region of about 66

0:50million people with GDP of 330 trillion

0:54yen or 2.04 trillion US dollars. The

0:58fastest journey from Tokyo's Shinagawa

1:00station to Nagoya currently takes about

1:0290 minutes by shinkansen and around 2

1:05hours and 20 minutes to Osaka. The new

1:08maglev line is expected to cut those

1:10times to 40 minutes and 67 minutes

1:13respectively. The first section between

1:15Shinagawa and Nagoya was originally

1:17scheduled to open in 2027

1:20but has now been pushed back to 2036 at

1:23the earliest.

1:25Rising labor and material costs have

1:27also doubled the estimated cost of this

1:29section.

1:33>> If this maglev high-speed train line is

1:35put into operation, the travel time from

1:37Tokyo to Osaka will be equivalent to the

1:40travel time within the Tokyo

1:41metropolitan area today.

1:44This is the basis for the Japanese

1:46government to form the concept of a

1:48super megalopolis in Japan.
