Small portion of U.S. air base in Okinawa returned

Photo taken in May 2017 shows a densely populated downtown area of Ginowan in Okinawa Prefecture, with U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Futenma in the background. The United States returned to Japan a small strip of land within the air base on July 31, in a move the Japanese government has touted as a reduction in the disproportionate burden on the prefecture from hosting U.S. military forces.
