Over the last five decades there have been various plans for the relocation of Marine Corps Air Station Futenma (海兵隊普天間航空基地, Kaiheitai Futenma Kōkū Kichi ), a United States Marine Corps base located within the urban area of Ginowan City (pop. 93,661) in Okinawa, Japan.[1][2] The current proposal for a new site in Henoko Bay, Nago, has faced opposition from Okinawans and the local government who wish for the new base to be located off the island altogether.

In October 2015, following a temporary halt after negotiations with the government of Okinawa Prefecture,[3][4] the Japanese central government began work to build the base in Henoko Bay. The issue was taken to court by both parties in November[5] and December.[6] After a tentative court-mediated settlement in March 2016, the national government sued Okinawa governor Takeshi Onaga (翁長 雄志, Onaga Takeshi ) in July, and obtained a High Court ruling in September determining that it was illegal for Onaga to revoke his predecessor's permission for landfill work at the new site. The Supreme Court of Japan indicated in December 2016 that it would let this judgment stand, opening a door for the relocation work to proceed,[7] and in September 2023, ordered the Okinawan government to approve the central government's plan for construction.[8]
