In 2011, the governments of Japan and the United States selected Ma Mao Island in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan as an alternative location for the US military carrier aircraft carrier aircraft takeoff and landing training.
Mahair Island is located in the south of Kyushu Island and belongs to Nishinoomote City, Kagoshima Prefecture, covering an area of approximately 8 square kilometers.
According to reports, the Ministry of Defense of Japan plans to build related facilities on the island and has begun to conduct geological surveys in the nearby waters.
At present, the local fisheries association has agreed to the investigation. However, since the Ministry of Defense wants to conduct the investigation, it must obtain permission from the Kagoshima Prefecture Government to which Ma Mao Island belongs.

The attitude of the prefectural governor Yasuda Shioda will be the key to the progress of this matter in the future.
