> demilitarization of the semi-tropical island as a site for US military
> presence in the western Pacific
> (see http://www.pref.okinawa.jp/site/chijiko/kichitai/25185.html).
>
> The itinerary is as follows:
>
> Day 1 (August 10): The Militarization of the Okinawa Island
> Move from Kyoto to the Itami Airport by airport limousine bus (arranged
> by participants themselves). Arrive at the Naha Airport, Okinawa. Visit
> to the USMC Futenma Air Station, the USAF Kadena Air Base, and the
> military base town of Koza with an optional night tour in the town.
>
> Please note that the trip will leave Naha at 2pm, meaning that
> participants need to arrive in Naha beforehand by taking a domestic
> flight from Itami or Kansai. There are usually two flights to Naha from
> Itami in the morning: one is run by ANA which is part of Star Alliance;
> the other is by JAL which is part of One World. You can include one of
> these flights in your international trip. It takes about one hour from
> downtown Kyoto to Itam by limousine bus. You can find its timetable
> at:http://www.okkbus.co.jp/en/timetable/itm/f_kyt.html
>
> There are more flights to Naha from the Kansai Airport including LCCs.
> In this case, you can take an airport shuttle train (Haruka) from the
> Kyoto Station, but it takes longer and costs more. For Haruka?s
> timetable, please look
> at:http://www.westjr.co.jp/global/en/travel-information/timetable/
>
> Day 2 (August 11): The De-militalization of the Island
> Visit to 'American Village'(Americanized resort and shopping complex),
> Yomitan Village (plans for de-militarization), Kin Town (another
> military base town), and Henoko (oppositional movement against
> militarization). Dinner at American Village.
>
> Day 3 (August 12):
> Move back to Naha (for sightseeing and/or returning flight). We will
> arrive at the Naha Airport around 8:30am so that participants can take a
> connecting flight to Kansai or Narita.
>
> The maximum number of participants will be 20. The estimated total cost
> for the trip is approximately 35,000 yen without airfare, which can be
> paid by credit card. Flights to/from Okinawa (Naha) need to be arranged
> by participants themselves as part of their international round trip to
> Japan. If you are interested in participating in the trip, please email
> the following information (express of interest) to Takashi
> Yamazaki<yamataka@lit.osaka-cu.ac.jp> <yamataka@lit.osaka-cu.ac.jp>.
