Japan is the worlds third richest country in the world.
The estimated cost is large. But it's well within the capabilities of the Japanese economy which will no doubt take a hit... but the worst that can happen is that it becomes the world's fourth richest country as opposed to being the world's third richest country for a little bit... whoop dee do.
