It's a ground base. Even if thoroughly attacked (and frankly there's limit to how much China can strike at this range), it will not sink into the Ocean.
With sufficient reinforcement and ABM, well built base can soak a lot of stand off strikes, and be still quite recoverable.

No need to look for "haha" explanations, like everything is pointless and predetermined. It's a fluid state, and building fortified bases (like this one) moves the needle.

At some point, this will need a stand in solution.

Unless they have some underground facilities, pretty much anything in the surface is gone and give that has taken years built I don't think is replaceable that easy, everything is packed is such small space that strategic or tactical value is pretty diminished. The base is pretty much at the range of mid range missiles and cruise missiles.

For sake, the missiles don't even need to have high precision or even complex navigation systems just a lot of explosive power. Still don't see the strategy value except to deflect fire power from population centers, which is a good thing.

Yes, but as noted in the source I provided, they are also proposing a supplemental of 1.1 trillion yen.

“Combined with the initial budget of approximately 9.9 trillion yen, the total amount will be approximately 11 trillion yen. As a result, it can be said that in FY2025, we have already achieved the 2 percent of GDP level set out in the National Security Strategy,” Japan Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi said Tuesday during a press conference.
