Disagreements on the deployment of the Ground Self-Defense Force in Ishigaki Island, Okinawa Prefecture

As early as 2016, the Ministry of Defense of Japan proposed to deploy the Land Self-Defense Force and surface-to-air and surface-to-ship missile units on Ishigaki Island in Okinawa Prefecture. Once the media reported it, the local people had different opinions on this, and the differences between the parties could not be resolved.

Mayor Nakayama Yoshitaka once said: "It is necessary to make certain arrangements in the Nanxi Islands."
