Ishigaki City, Okinawa Prefecture, has completed an administrative sign with a new name that it wants to install on each island in the Senkaku Islands.
In the future, we will apply to the country for landing on the island for installation.
In October last year, Ishigaki City decided to install a new administrative sign on each island in response to the new addition of the word "Senkaku" to the name of the Senkaku Islands, and recently completed the sign.
On the 23rd, Ishigaki City held a press conference and unveiled five administrative signs, each with the name of an island in the Senkaku Islands such as Uotsuri Island, which is about 1 meter high.
Aside from this, a display board with the names of the islands and reefs that make up the Senkaku Islands, which the city wants to set up on Uotsuri Island, was also released.
In the future, it is said that the government will apply for landing on the island for installation, but Chief Cabinet Secretary Kato said at a press conference in March, "In principle, all people except government officials are allowed to land on the Senkaku Islands. We have a policy of not having it, and when there is an application for landing, we will make an appropriate decision based on this policy. "
Mayor Nakayama of Ishigaki City said, "Because the concrete pillars built 52 years ago are being weathered, we will pass on the history of the island to posterity by building pillars made of granite from Ishigaki Island. It will be a thing. "
