Ginowan (Futenma) Election for a Mayor.

 Camp Futenma Marine Corps. ( It cannot be called an Air Base, because it's violating a Civil Aeronautics Law of Japan)  

As you see a location of this Base is right in a middle of the city of Ginowan.
Unbelievably, It's been here for almost 7 decades.  Right after the US took the land away after    1945.                                                                                                                     

Now, City of Ginowan is taking an election campaign for the new Mayor. Election date is 24th Jan. This election has a big meaning for Henoko New Base. Because, Present mayor doesn't oppose to move relocate Futenma Base to Henoko.

A new candidates express that we don't need a relocation to Henoko. 

Japanese government puts lots of pressure and weight to Ginowan election.
Because if they lost this election, Henoko New Base will be an impossible. Why? Because the will of the people is so obvious that WE DON'T WANT US BASES !! ANY MORE !!                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
                                                         Henoko 551 days

  picture of Miyako island's militarize plan 11 th February “The Symposium for thinking a peace & military bases at North East Asia” was held at Miyako island. 9 people from Korea visited this time. (Pyeongtaek & Jeju island) Pyeongtaek is where biggest U.S. Army base in the world exists. Jeju island where Korean government constructed new Navy base on 2016 at Gangjeong village despite of strong opposition movement. I’d like to tell you what I saw & I felt by coming Miyako island after one year of my last visiting. Last year of January, when I came, there were no buildings at the site of Chiyoda New Japanese Defense Force’s base. In one year, a dozen of barracks for soldiers were already built and a forest of community prayer site was cut down much smaller and ammunition depots, 700 tons fuel tanks are under construction. However, under the tanks, there is a soft ground which it may not be able to support

If he gave up his job at that point, he 'd may be survived up to now. His responsibility was so much to Okinawa. He was an one of the most powerful gorveronor in Okinawan history. He was a member of Liberal Democratic Party(LDP) which is the biggest political party in Japan. Priminister Abe is the top of LDP. However, when Mr. Onaga saw how Japanese goverment treat Okinawa, He decided to leave from LDP. And Mr. Onaga ran for Okinawa governor and He was elected. What was a special about a governor Onaga is uniting Okinawan conservatives to stop U.S. military eapansion. U.S. mlitary issue in Okinawa was always devided conservative party and liberal party. However, Mr. Onaga joined the hands with liberals to stop new U.S. base expansion. He said, No More Ideology But Identity. He me
