Japan Built a Wall… and a Forest
After the devastating 2011 tsunami, Japan didn’t just rebuild—they went fortress mode.
Stretching an unbelievable 395 km, the Great Tsunami Wall is a beast of engineering. In some spots, it’s taller than a 4-story building (14.7 meters), with foundations plunging 25 meters deep to hold back the ocean’s fury.
But here’s the twist—Japan didn’t stop at concrete. They also planted 9 million trees along the coast, creating the “Great Forest Wall.” This living barrier slows incoming waves and traps dangerous debris before it can be dragged back to sea.
It’s part man-made muscle, part Mother Nature magic—and it’s one of the boldest disaster defenses on Earth.
