Construction of the New Naha Shintoshin Area
The new city center, Shintoshin, is located 1.5 kilometers to the northwest of downtown Naha City. This vast stretch of field is almost unthinkable to be within the city of Naha but after the war it was expropriated by the U.S. military until its complete return in 1987. In hopes of providing for the development of Okinawa through the construction of a new city nucleus, work is progressing on this section of town.
