{{unreferenced|date=December 2015}}{{nihongo|Deep underground|大深度地下|dai-shindo chika}} is a Japanese concept for the public use of deep underground, enabled by a 2001 law. It was first thought of in the late 1980s as Japan faced ever-increasing land values in the economic bubble, to allow the utilization of heretofore-unused deep underground for necessary water and utility ducts and other city tunnels.However, due to technical difficulties in ventilation, emergency procedures and other safety-related issues and the relatively high cost, no projects utilizing deep underground have been completed as of 2010. Definition- Depth greater than 40 meters or
- Depth 10 meters greater than the layer on which deep foundation rests
In the case of public use, no compensation to the land owner is required. Projects utilizing the law- Underground water mains in Kobe (Chūō-ku, Kobe)
- Project approved on June 19, 2007 (first ever in Japan).
- Tokyo Gaikan Expressway (Tōmei Junction - Ōizumi Junction/Interchange)
- Project status elevated to construction stage on April 27, 2009.
