‘The relocation of U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, now in a congested area in the city of Ginowan in Okinawa Prefecture, to the Henoko coastal district in Nago, another city in Okinawa, is "the only viable solution”…’

I’d call that not serious. Yes, return Futenma. No to Henoko relocation.
Thirty years after Tokyo and Washington agreed on a handover, Japan takes the fact that the site of the U.S. Futenma base in Okinawa Prefecture has yet to be returned to Japan "seriously."
Japan takes U.S. Futenma base's delayed relocation 'seriously'
The relocation of the U.S. Futenma base, now in a congested area in Ginowan in Okinawa Prefecture, is 'the only viable solution,' the top government spokesman said.

I’m no fan of Onodera, who helped force #Henoko base construction on Okinawa, but in Japan it can take courage to say something so blindingly obvious as “Trump is a terrible person.”
“Trump is a terrible person. This treatment is just too harsh.” - Japanese lawmaker Onodera Itsunori, Chair of the LDP's Policy Research Council, reacting to President Trump's threat to impose 25% tariffs on Japan.
Harsh words from a ruling party politician.

Tokyo has long insisted that the Henoko base will "reduce the burden," though it's far from clear that the Marines will ever leave MCAS Futenma. Also, Henoko-based Ospreys and other aircraft

"Japan hurries to mitigate future devastation on active faults"
Meanwhile, Tokyo continues #Henoko base construction despite the "Defense" Ministry's Okinawa Bureau having released a report that two faults in the area may be active.

The @nytimes FINALLY discovers the fake US plan to "withdraw" US Marines from Okinawa but lies all the way through and ridicules the movement to stop construction of their new base in Henoko. No one glorifies 80 years of military occupation like the imperial Times. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...
U.S. Marines Start to Leave Japan, Decades Behind Schedule
The American base on Okinawa has relocated 105 Marines. But an agreement to move 9,000 in total is colliding with the perceived threat from a rising China.

While the runway at the Futenma base in Ginowan, Okinawa Prefecture, is roughly 2,700 meters long, the two runways at the replacement facility will be about 1,800 meters each.
U.S. won't return Futenma site unless Japan agrees to long runway at Henoko

This reminds me of the ongoing fight to save Okinawan reefs and diversity from destruction by the addition of yet another base.

Sadly, it all comes down to politics. Just like you point out with all water.

「変なのは、運航実態は何年もの間、海保が監視して知っていたのだから、分かった時点で指導出来たはず」団体名は辺野古NOW Henoko米軍新基地反対No to USMC new baseplan! 沖縄タイムスにしてみれば珍しい公正な記事でした。
「辺野古沖転覆で国交相「運航実態を確認」2隻とも事業登録なし 処罰対象の可能性も」に対する反論がこれだとは。
海保の注意勧告、指導、現場での呼び掛けを再三無視して、海保職員が船内に乗り込み、直接注意すると唾を吐きかけたり、海保職員を嘲笑し罵詈雑言を繰り返す。身柄拘束されても懲りずにまた繰り返す。 それが活動家のデフォになってたのが現実です。
