00:02The place where the first train ran about 150 years ago
00:06A sustainable city of the future was born there.
00:09Stones Coach Hugo goes undercover
00:13Wow, that's amazing, yay, yay
00:17Wow, this is crazy
00:20What he saw there
00:24failure, progress
00:28Naniwa Danshi's Ryusei Onishi fulfills his elementary school dream
00:33To the train driver
00:39Oops, what a thing to say
00:41Now it's slowly being lifted up
00:46Only here in the world
00:48A 30-ton vehicle is lifted like a crane game
00:52R
00:52A special mission that left me in awe
00:56Ingenious technology that supports railway safety and security
01:01A testing ground for a sustainable future 100 years from now
01:06Surprisingly close ahead
01:46This area is called the Greater Shinagawa Prefecture and is a once-in-a-century reopening.
01:53The development is underway.
01:57A new gateway to the international city of Tokyo
02:01The station and the entire town are being developed.
02:04One of the bases in the Greater Shinagawa Prefecture is aiming for net zero CO2 emissions.
02:13From energy to transportation, we will
02:17A future city remade from books
02:23Now, Coach, we have arrived in front of Takanawa Gateway Station.
02:27It's too developed
02:29I know about the production and the surrounding area.
02:33This is your first time here.
02:34I
02:35What is this?
02:37Have you seen this before?
02:39No, no
02:40No, it's not like Table Park.
02:43Hello
02:44Oh, hello
02:44I was surprised
02:45Can I assume that they won't be coming in during filming?
02:48Of those involved
02:48Yes, I'm Tango, the company in charge of mobility.
02:52This is a vehicle called Eno, an autonomous mobility vehicle.
02:56I am
02:57Eno
02:58It also helps people move around and provides city information.
03:02So
03:03Enjoy the city views while riding
03:05It feels like they're guiding me.
03:07Is it like you can borrow if you pay?
03:10You will ride for free
03:11Free? Free ride
03:13Can I take a little ride?
03:15Of course
03:15Excuse me
03:17Eno
03:18Eno-chan
03:19I can't help but want to ask if it's okay to ride.
03:23The vehicle is my senior.
03:25There's a guy named Eno.
03:27Hey
03:28I often use the phrase "Eno OK" as a joke.
03:30Eno-kun actually got on board too.
03:32I'm riding
03:33I was riding it after all.
03:36Ah, here it comes.
03:38Sorry about the voice, but in a city like this
03:41About the same speed as a person walking
03:43Not too early, not too late
03:46Wow, amazing!
03:47Yay!
03:48Yay!
03:49I came to Gateway and it's still like the price on YouTube.
03:53How does this work?
03:56There are also communities that run on hydrogen-derived electricity.
04:01The electricity used is generated from hydrogen derived from renewable energy.
04:06clean electricity
04:10The Eno emits no CO2 while driving, which is good for the environment and people.
04:15It's a gentle vehicle of the future.
04:20Thank you I don't know what to do but I'll give it a try How was it?
04:25It's a comfortable ride and fun. This was a really small one.
04:31On the other hand, there are elderly people and people with leg problems.
04:35It's great that even those with free time can enjoy sightseeing smoothly like this.
04:39I thought it was a system
04:40This would be great for a SixTONES concert too.
04:47It's a mix
04:47That way, it's just the right time to shake hands with the customers.
04:51Here, the city of the future is already in motion
04:57We just rode a vehicle from the future, but next we'll take a look at Japanese history.
05:01I want to feel that it is important. Actually, the area around Takanawa Gate Station is
05:06This is the place where the first train in Japan ran about 150 years ago.
05:12The area between Hama and Shinbashi has a really strong image. Oh, I see. That's why I'm going through there.
05:15Or so it seems
05:17In 1872, Japan's first railway line connected Shinbashi and Yokohama.
05:24At that time, the route was still at sea, and steam was passing through the stonework.
05:29Steam locomotives were in operation 150 years ago. Can they really make something like this in 150 years?
05:38When I think about the past 150 years, it's a bit long, but when I look at it like this...
05:44Wouldn't you like to see the trains running 150 years ago?
05:48Of course you can see it, but what do you mean?
05:54Scan the QR code to see the steam locomotive of that time.
05:57You can experience that atmosphere. Is that even possible?
06:00Okay, let's try it. I want to do it. This will load. Okay, let's go. No, stop.
06:09Please, I'm afraid I'll be pulled away. Please wait a moment. I'm afraid I'll be pulled away.
06:13I don't want to get caught in a steam locomotive
06:14Ah, it feels good. Wait a minute, that disappeared. Wait a minute, I'm not good with machines.
06:21Sorry, but it's like this, ...
06:26The position is dangerous. I'm being pulled. I'm being pulled.
06:31Amazing! Yamazaki Announcer came out! Hahahaha! Let's go further!
06:36Please, okay okay, wait a minute, let me have my revenge
06:41On the other hand, please hold it here and I'll let you in. Okay, that's it.
06:45I understand what you mean, it's really, really good.
06:49Cheese ah it's so good I'm hooked hahahahahaha yes cheese
06:56Yes yes cheese yes cheese yes cheese yes cheese
07:01By the way, what is this stone?
07:04This area was the sea 150 years ago, right?
07:07So we piled up stones to make a package.
07:11A locomotive was running on it.
07:13It's part of that.
07:15Awesome!
07:16The embankment, which was built by combining the technology and wisdom of the time,
07:20It was also the origin of Japanese railways.
07:24Looking 100 years ahead
07:26In this place where the town of the future is being developed
07:29The historical footprints that supported Japan's modernization are clearly engraved here.
07:33Next, the two of them arrived at the university next to Shinagawa Station.
07:41Imachi Station Now I've arrived at Oimachi Trucks Amazing March
07:49It is scheduled to open on the 28th, but please come ahead of time.
07:53Thank you so much for letting me see the colors. I'm looking forward to it.
07:56I would like to look at various sustainable aspects.
07:59Let's go to Oimachi Station, where construction is underway in preparation for the town's opening.
08:07Directly connected to the station is the large-scale complex Oimachi To
08:12Lux is an office, hotel, residence, restaurant, shop
08:18It is a town of the future where
08:22Sorry, let me just come to this first.
08:25Shall I check it out now?
08:27What's inside? How many stores are there? The food is also very rich.
08:32It's coming true
08:34Here you can find everything from dining and drinking to fashion supermarkets and spas.
08:38There are over 80 stores ranging from
08:42Wow, wait a second, this is amazing, so cool, so cool, this is the near future
08:51It'll be nice to come here. I'll drink some coffee and
08:56Can I sit down? Just a little longer. This artificial turf feels so good. Yes, just a little longer.
09:03Sorry, just sitting isn't enough.
09:05Hahahahahaha wow that feels so good, the track spark between two grown men
09:12It is not just a square. It is a place where you can experience secondary disasters such as fires and fires caused by earthquakes.
09:17Accepting evacuees from the area in the event of a disaster
09:20It will be a wide-area evacuation site with electricity for 72 hours.
09:26I have enough equipment to stay for three full days.
09:33What do you think the black bar is?
09:35This is slightly different from the heating system, the latest equipment.
09:41It doesn't end there, but this solar-powered smartphone charging
09:47It can be charged. Oh, really. I'll put it down for a bit.
09:55It's so amazing that even if there's a power outage during a disaster, this sunlight will still be there.
10:02If there is power generation, the last train will certainly be available.
10:08There are some special spots for sex.
10:11Wow, look here! Wow, it's true, this is actually the Yamanote Line depot.
10:19Ah, this is the place where we do repairs and maintenance.
10:24It's a place to wait, right? It's a house on the Yamanote Line. Do you know anything about it?
10:32Is it a person?
11:04I am currently at the Tokyo General Rolling Stock Center.
11:09No one can enter, but we have permission.
11:11I'm so excited, look at it now, it's sparkling, thank you JR East
11:18Apparently it's a real Japanese uniform. It's amazing. I'm so excited.
11:24I'm so happy! The emblem is cool too. It's my dream from elementary school.
11:29But everyone in my grade said they wanted to become a driver for JR East.
11:36I made a loud announcement in front of everyone.
11:38CR East Japan's wide variety of
11:42I was really interested in the railways of the United States and wanted to be at the forefront.
11:48I was dreaming about it. I was so excited to show Mr. Onishi around.
11:54Thank you for your support.
12:04Takanashi is a veteran vehicle salesman with over 20 years of experience.
12:08They will explain the center in an easy-to-understand way.
12:12All aboard!
12:17The Tokyo General Rolling Stock Center was established in 2004.
12:24Approximately five times the size of the Kyoto Dome. Including the Yamanote Line and the Tokyo metropolitan area.
12:32Inspection and cleaning of vehicles running on the road, replacement of parts, etc.
12:36A strong presence under the yen that supports safe and stable railway transport
12:42Furthermore, Yamanote Line trains will be stopped between the last train and the first train.
12:50It is also used as a home for storing the Yamanote Line.
12:57First, Takanashi showed us the training for our employees.
13:05It is a facility designed for the purpose of
13:08Oh, there's a sudden driver's seat.
13:11What is this? Yes, this is a mockup of a real vehicle.
13:16The cab has the same structure as the
13:20Successfully created mockups for more practical skills
13:24We provide succession and education and training
13:30Would you like to actually try it? Yes, it would be a dream come true.
13:36Eh, I'm nervous. Wow, this is what it feels like.
13:44The height and eye level are the same, so it's realistic.
13:48When I ride the Yamanote Line, I sometimes look behind the driver's seat.
13:52It was through that small window.
13:53That's where I am now, Mr. Onishi. That was your dream since elementary school.
14:03My long-awaited driver experience
14:12I can hear the sound of air escaping and it looks like it's about to move.
14:16It won't move due to some mistake, right?
14:21It's already been launched, so just keep going down
14:25If you can pull it up, it's so fast, the acceleration is amazing, but is this a brake?
14:33When kicking, you just tilt your left hand forward.
14:37Gradually the brakes started to kick in and I was in Shibuya, Shibuya, Shibuya
14:47We arrived in Shibuya. It's a dream come true to be able to experience driving.
14:52I'm so happy
14:57Next, we will be shown a facility that is rare even in the world.
15:03I'll make it look like a secret base and make it exciting.
15:07Oh, I could see it a little bit. Can you see it now? Yes, at the bottom of the stairs
15:15The Yamanote Line train depot is located underground.
15:23It's rare to see the Yamanote Line underground, even in the world.
15:30It's unusual, yes yes
15:33There's even a train depot upstairs! Amazing!
15:39The thing the coaches were looking at earlier was the train depot on the ground.
15:43And underneath that, Mr. Onishi is in the underground train depot.
15:54It can accommodate nearly 500 Yamanote Line trains.
16:02This time, we took a look at the Yamanote Line, which is currently parked underground and undergoing maintenance.
16:07Being able to board the vehicle
16:16It is in Yamanote Line colors.
16:19I felt strange when I first started working in Tokyo.
16:23When I got off the Shinkansen at Shinagawa, I took the Yamanote Line to Shibuya.
16:28I've been to a lot of places like the valley, so I like Shibuya Station too.
16:32Right.
16:34Recently, there have been many changes in the development of Takanawa.
16:38Thank you for my new Gateway! It's a hot topic right now.
16:43It's a pot, right? That's right. You will soon have the opportunity to try it.
16:50Is there an experience?
16:54A special experience you can have by riding the Yamanote Line during maintenance.
16:58teeth?
17:03Scrubbing, scrubbing, scrubbing is good, isn't it?
17:07Oh, this might be the first time
17:08I'm getting a little nervous
17:14Eh?
17:19Here it comes!
17:21Wow, amazing!
17:23Wait this
17:26It's very impressive
17:28Huh really?
17:29Wow
17:30Wow
17:32Awesome!
17:33Wow
17:41We provide machine cleaning for bathtubs on the Yamanote Line.
17:45Wow
17:46It cleanses your hard-working body.
17:50That's why the Yamanote Line is always shiny. Yes, that's right.
17:57Cleaning is also an important maintenance method.
18:03The next thing I was shown was this.
18:12What is this big building for?
18:20Please pay attention to this yellow truck. It is the only one of its kind in the world.
18:25It is a special vehicle called an "intra" and there is one over there too.
18:28Oh, it's true! Looking closer, it's really huge! Wow!
18:33It seems like it's completely different from a train driver's seat.
18:51Afterwards, you will be amazed by the craftsmanship that can only be seen here in the world.
18:59Nishi Ryusei is really excited, it's amazing indeed.
19:09Get excited watching the craftsmanship that can only be seen here in the world
19:18Here it is, weighing over 30 tons, just 3 meters away.
19:25This car, also known as the "N", has arrived right in front of me.
19:31Kurapana, a fellow announcer and master of the industry,
19:35I'll give a live report
20:08Yes, it's exactly like a crane game.
20:12It would be bad if you fell like that, so make sure you're safe.
20:16Isn't it common to see a stage like this at a moving concert?
20:20This kind of stage was called a moving stage at the dome the other day.
20:25Ah, here it stopped dead on top of Nontra.
20:31To transport the vehicle after removing the wheels for maintenance
20:36Nontra is active
20:42Check everything from the front and back with your eyes and the cake.
20:48Here it is, a veteran driver with the skill of a master craftsman.
20:55And the skilled techniques of the workers on-site
21:00This crane was lifted and this work was a great adventure.
21:08Are you there?
21:08All I need is stability. I'm watching something amazing. The train will be moving soon.
21:15So yes
21:20Amazing trains
21:25This is the only place in the world where you can operate a non-motorized vehicle.
21:31The only power source is non-transparent.
21:34Are trains moving where there are no tracks?
21:37Nontra is amazing
21:39surely
21:41Walking with the Chuo Line
21:44Wow, that's true.
21:45Amazing big move
21:484km per hour is the normal walking speed for humans.
21:52It seems like it would be a little slower than that. Yes, it seems like it would be difficult to drive.
21:57It requires a lot of skill to get through this.
22:03Isn't it difficult to coordinate with the person behind you?
22:10It must be difficult. You can barely see the movement of the vehicle in front.
22:15While watching, the steering wheel is turned and adjusted. A cross section that cannot usually be seen
22:19I learned this part for the first time, but it means that non-traditional music is cool.
22:24How many people will be piloting the aircraft? Six people.
22:29You've been entrusted with a small but impressive position, no, a big role in Tokyo.
22:39This is not the only craftsmanship at the General Rolling Stock Center.
22:46There are craftsmen who support the inspections
22:55Oh, I heard some kind of knocking sound. Yes, this way.
23:00Well, it's a new building called the East Building, and we're inspecting it.
23:04So I'd like to hear a little bit about it. Is that okay? Thank you very much. Thank you very much.
23:10Thank you very much
23:13Tsuboi is a skilled craftsman who will have been working here for 18 years this spring.
23:20This is called a hammering test, and it checks whether the bolts are loose.
23:24We judge this by the sound of the bolt being struck.
23:28Is it okay to hit them?
23:33Check the bolt to see if it is properly fastened or loose by tapping it.
23:38It seems that if you use the right amount of force,
23:45Sounds like it's done. It's normal, right? Yes.
23:52Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang
23:54Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang
23:54Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang
23:55Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang
23:56Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang
24:00Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang
24:02Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang
24:02Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang
24:02Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang
24:03Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang
24:03Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang
24:06mosquito
24:07Do you understand? That's not right. Wait, it's not the same. It's completely different. This needs to be repaired.
24:24That's crazy.
24:28The closest one is D. It's completely different. When I hit D just now,
24:35What did you say? Repairs are needed. Under the nut.
24:39I was hitting it in a different place, so the sound is a little different.
24:43I think there might be one now.
24:48This is precisely why we can do this by hand as craftsmen.
24:54Humans tend to feel a slight sense of incongruity when it comes to distinguishing
25:00Or something different from usual, etc., are also used as criteria for judgment.
25:04I think it's important to be able to see things with other people's eyes and feel that way.
25:10The train doctors are wonderful people, and we're safe.
25:16So Kochi and Yamazaki can ride the train with peace of mind.
25:22The train is moving towards the underground of Takanawa Gateway City.
25:25In motion
25:30There are so many ducts that it feels like you've come to a place you shouldn't be in.
25:37After this, we'll head to a secret underground space in the city of the future.
25:42This is bad
26:04Tasumi, which controls a huge underground space, will build a future city underground.
26:08Supported by
26:12This is the electricity used in Takanawa Gateway City.
26:18is the cold and hot water used for air conditioning.
26:24This is the kind of plant that supplies
26:29What's this about Takeuchi-san guiding me to a secret place?
26:35What is this room? It's a mysterious space. I'm really curious about what's inside.
26:43There must be some meaning behind this place.
26:48There is a secret facility. Wow, they're filming a drama right now.
26:56Isn't it amazing right now, like a shadow or something?
26:58This is where we manage the energy to Takanawa Gate.
27:02This is the heart of the event. Television cameras enter this room.
27:07Is this the first time I've seen this? Please feel free to use the monitor.
27:13This is information about the plant, electricity, or gas.
27:18The energy produced is used to produce heat.
27:24Water: It's winter, so most of the water is warm.
27:28If we use it like this, people will say that hot water is no longer used much in the city.
27:33So, we can reduce the waste of hot water produced by this plant.
27:39So we only make what we need and eliminate waste.
27:44It's amazing that they're doing this on a city-wide basis and are fully committed to it.
27:50That's right.
27:52Even food waste from restaurants and other establishments can be turned into resources.
27:56It will be
27:57Food waste collected within the area is processed using a special machine.
28:01This is the main methane fermentation layer.
28:07Food waste is actually fermented here to produce biogas.
28:11I will
28:12This facility can produce up to approximately 760 cubic meters per day.
28:17The gas produced in this way can be used as fuel.
28:22It is used to produce hot water
28:28Sustainable energy circulates throughout the city.
28:33Takeuchi guided us to the center of this underground facility.
28:38There is a big wall here, but actually, there is a huge body of water behind this wall.
28:44There is a tank
28:44Such as temporarily storing cold and hot water for air conditioning
28:50Has a function
28:51Does it feel like water?
28:55The capacity of the giant aquarium is equivalent to 34 25-meter swimming pools.
29:01Oh, something has come. What is it? How about you? How are you? Hello, I'm Yugo.
29:08Hello, I'm Yugo. I'm Yugo. Eh, robot?
29:14Yes, this is where we patrol and inspect the plant.
29:20A robot that gives
29:22So this kid will also work.
29:25that's right
29:26Wow, it has a really nice camera.
29:29that's right
29:30Does this kid have a name?
29:59This is Yugo
30:02Can you wipe the lens for me? It's fogged up.
30:07Ah, he wiped it.
30:08Beautiful, beautiful
30:09It's not just an aquarium, it's a really big space.
30:13It's not the pool we think of.
30:17Coach, how did you feel when you found out the secret of the city of the future? It was amazing.
30:23This is the heart of the game, and it supports the high throwing path.
30:28Or rather, in order for us to live comfortably, we need this kind of engine.
30:32I saw that there were people in the area and that there was equipment like that.
30:35I think it was really great to be able to see and experience it, and also in the environment.
30:38I learned how to be gentle and efficient.
30:43I thought that was a good idea.
30:45It's been 15 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake
30:49The ingenious technology that helped restore the speed of the Shinkansen
30:54Approaching
31:00The Tohoku Shinkansen connects Tokyo and Shin-Aomori in as little as 2 hours and 58 minutes
31:06line
31:08The safe operation of the main artery of eastern Japan is a daily, unseen process
31:13Supported by the power of skill in carrying out the work
31:22This scene changed completely on that day 15 years ago.
31:30March 11, 2011
31:34The Great East Japan Earthquake recorded a maximum seismic intensity of 7
31:39It caused unprecedented damage from Tohoku to Kanto.
31:46Damage also occurred on the Tohoku Shinkansen line, including tilting utility poles.
31:51We were forced to suspend service on the front lines.
31:58Jun Kaneda, who is researching civil engineering structures
32:03At that time, I was working at the Tohoku Construction Office in Aomori Prefecture.
32:09I was traveling by car when the earthquake struck.
32:13I felt the shaking when I was stopped at an intersection.
32:19Soon after, all the traffic lights went out.
32:23I wonder what will happen from now on.
32:30Coincidentally, my wife and three young children were on the Tohoku Shinkansen that day.
32:35I was planning to come to Aomori to meet you.
32:39I get worried when I can't get in touch with them.
32:45I was in a situation where I couldn't do anything anymore.
32:49I guess it feels like the anxiety has been going on for a long time.
32:56Kaneda spent a night of anxiety, not knowing the safety of his family.
33:01It wasn't until the next day that I found out he was safe.
33:08One week after the earthquake
33:11To investigate the damage to the Tohoku Shinkansen
33:14Kaneda headed to Sendai.
33:18Many electric poles fell due to the earthquake.
33:22I was instructed to investigate the situation.
33:27On the Shinkansen tracks
33:29I walked around and took pictures of each electric pole.
33:37This is a photo taken by Kaneda at the time.
33:41Due to the earthquake, several electric poles were tilted significantly toward the tracks.
33:46You can see that
33:49I left around 8am
33:52Apparently they leave the area and come back around 4 o'clock.
33:58I think that was the kind of day it was.
34:00This is a terrible thing that has happened
34:04The month after the large aftershock occurred
34:08Kaneda returns to Sendai
34:11As a member of the viaduct restoration team
34:13I was put in charge of the repair work site.
34:18The damage to many viaducts was limited to cracks.
34:25There was a lot of damage in one area.
34:30The rails running above it were so low that it was difficult to adjust them.
34:36We also use a construction method called jacking up to carry out repairs.
34:44The repair work carried out at this time
34:47While supporting the weight of the tracks and girders with jacks
34:51Reconstructing the pillars
34:55Restoration work for areas that have sustained significant damage
34:58It is an essential method
35:02The construction was suspended due to aftershocks.
35:07Just 49 days after the earthquake
35:15The Tohoku Shinkansen has been restored on the front lines with exceptional speed.
35:20current
35:21It became a symbol of recovery
35:25If you do it with all your heart,
35:27It felt like the work was progressing steadily.
35:33To be honest, I didn't really feel it was difficult or anything like that.
35:39I wanted to do everything I could to fix it quickly.
35:46I think everyone was doing it.
35:54One of the main reasons why the Tohoku Shinkansen was able to be restored so quickly
35:59t
36:00This is an initiative that JR East has been working on for over 30 years.
36:06I was guided to the heart of the place.
36:13Durable, based on over 1,000 demonstration experiments
36:16Pursuit of structure
36:18This is what will minimize damage caused by earthquakes.
36:22It is a technology that
36:2715 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake
36:29At the time, it helped speed up the restoration of the Shinkansen.
36:33Skills that can be called master craftsmanship
36:35Here is the device that produced it
36:38This is a device called the horizontal steel plate bottom testing device.
36:44This is a device used to check the damage to structures.
36:49By applying downward and lateral forces
36:52When an earthquake occurs, the force acting on the structure supporting the Shinkansen
36:57This is a device that can generate this experimentally.
37:03After the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake
37:05JR East is preparing for an unprecedented earthquake.
37:10Using this experimental device
37:11Damage to concrete caused by earthquakes
37:14Repeated demonstration experiments
37:18At the same time, repair work will be carried out according to the damage situation.
37:21We have devised methods for reinforcement work to prepare for earthquakes.
37:28More than 1,000 experiments have been conducted to date.
37:32We had them explain the experiment while watching a video of it in action.
37:37As the lateral movement gets stronger
37:39Cracks appearing in the concrete
37:42I think you can see it
37:44What is crack injection?
37:47Inject cement milk or resin into the cracked area.
37:51By doing so
37:52Repair method to seal cracks
37:56On the other hand, if concrete spalling is confirmed,
37:59By pouring concrete or mortar
38:02Cross-section repair restores the original cross-section
38:08Furthermore, the rebar deformed significantly.
38:11If the floor supporting the track sinks significantly,
38:16Temporarily support the load on the pillar
38:19After returning to the specified height
38:22Reconstruct the pillars using steel bars and concrete.
38:28Since the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, JR East
38:33Earthquake-resistance reinforcement work has been fully underway
38:37As a result, damage to structures caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake
38:41I was able to keep it to a minimum
38:46This is roughly four times the number since the Great East Japan Earthquake.
38:50At a cost of 30 to 40 billion yen per year
38:54We are carrying out earthquake-resistance reinforcement work to prepare for earthquakes.
38:59The most important guideline in the latest earthquake countermeasures is
39:05Not to be severely damaged even in an earthquake
39:09Countermeasures for this are being implemented daily.
39:14We visited the earthquake-resistance reinforcement work site
39:20At this site, we are currently carrying out earthquake-resistance reinforcement using steel sheet reinforcement.
39:24Thank you
39:25Currently, we are wrapping steel plates around the underground part of this pillar.
39:30I'm doing
39:32Regarding this steel plate reinforced product,
39:35The Great East Japan Earthquake and other events that have occurred up until now
39:38And the Chuetsu earthquake and the Fukushima earthquake.
39:40We have not received any reports of such damage.
39:44I think it's highly reliable
39:48Other facilities that support the Shinkansen include electrified pole tunnels
39:54We are carrying out earthquake-resistance reinforcement of various structures.
40:00Supporting the rapid restoration of the Shinkansen
40:03Another major reason
40:06It was a network of support that went beyond the boundaries of the railway company.
40:16He immediately reached out to help after the Great East Japan Earthquake.
40:20is
40:21JR West, which experienced the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake
40:27In addition to providing water, food, blankets, and other relief supplies,
40:32With the cooperation of group companies and supporting companies
40:35Restoration work was also carried out
40:39This was during the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake.
40:41Thank you for the support we received from JR Group companies.
40:45It was a way of giving back.
40:49Support is also coming from railway operators outside the JR Group.
40:56This is essential for ensuring safety on the tracks.
40:58An inspection vehicle called a track inspection car
41:02This vehicle was provided by Keikyu Corporation, which is not part of the JR Group.
41:07iron
41:10The Tohoku Shinkansen and Keikyu lines have the same track width.
41:14Because
41:14At the request of JR East
41:17Quickly decide on the loan
41:20Supporting the early restoration of the Shinkansen
41:25Another thing is that Mr. Kaneda, who was involved in the restoration work at the site at the time,
41:29He told me an episode
41:34There was no shortage of food.
41:37They even served bento boxes.
41:40I was a bit surprised to find that there were ekiben that weren't from Sendai.
41:43I thought it was amazing.
41:48Founded over 100 years ago
41:50They have been selling ekiben since the days of the former Japanese National Railways.
41:53Toyama Prefecture's ekiben vendors
41:56We loaded one truck with 1,000 pieces.
41:59Departing for Sendai
42:01We would like to be of some help to you.
42:04I brought a lunch box for JR.
42:07That everyone was pleased
42:10I'm really glad I brought it with me.
42:14The ekiben provided at the site every day
42:17It was a great help to those working on the restoration.
42:27In addition to earthquake-resistance reinforcement, JR East is also
42:31Various measures are being taken to prepare for earthquakes
42:40One of them is the deviation prevention guide.
42:44On the outside of the Shinkansen wheels
42:46Equipped with an L-shaped deviation prevention guide
42:50In the unlikely event of a derailment, the rails will be touched.
42:53Prevented trains from warping too much
42:57In recent years, it has also been used at disaster sites.
43:01The drone's eyes
43:06This is March 2022
43:08After the Fukushima earthquake
43:11Actual footage taken by a drone
43:15Pillars damaged by the earthquake impact
43:19I clearly see
43:22By using drones
43:24Without closing the tracks
43:26Because it allows for quick and wide-area situation checks
43:31This helps to resume operation as soon as possible.
43:35Earthquakes are still occurring all over the country.
43:41Regarding future earthquake countermeasures, Kaneda said:
43:46After all, efforts to prepare for earthquakes
43:49It's something I've been doing for a long time.
43:53Without being satisfied with the status quo
43:57I think it's something that needs to continue.
44:00I think so.
44:04Earthquake-resistant technology and initiatives evolving daily
44:08And the circle of support
44:12Carrying safety and hope for the future
44:14The Tohoku Shinkansen continues to run today
44:21If you want to watch the show again
44:23On TVer FOD
44:25Thank you for watching
