Poor Japan.Its always forgotten.

It has the worlds longest span bridge,the Akashi bridge near Kobe.

The worlds longest undersea tunnel from Honshu to Hokkaido.Longer than the chunnel which I always hear on TV documentaries to be the longest.

The world's biggest city.Tokyo(32 million)

The world's fastest commercial train.The Shinkansen 500 series.

The world's largest bay crossing in an urban area.The aqua line linking Chiba to Yokohama.

I cant think of others but im sure there are plenty of them
