That will elevate Japanese economy for sure.

It would never happen in Japan but…

How about making the island a tax free deregulated zone?

It could house biotech, medical research,light manufacturing, startups etc.

I’ve seen so many water parks in Japan close due to heavy maintenance costs and being set far away from urban areas.

Both these ideas seem exciting, but how much use would a race tracks actually get?

Also the water park, are they just going to open it for the two during summer and close it at the start of September?.

I don't know what I'd put there, but it's prime spot right? They should make it something for locals and travellers to use.

Ramen shops ?

Suzuka is just down the road. How about build an airport that doesn’t sink.

My thought as well. WSBK does not visit Japan anymore. MotoGP does one weekend at Motegi. I guess Formula 1 visits as well. I do not follow that.

How about build an airport that doesn’t sink.

Not practical. The "island" site isn't big enough to accommodate an airport as is and would have to be expanded considerably by additional land reclamation. An airport there would probably also interfere with operations at Kobe Airport just 12.5 km to the west.
