The airspace over central Japan has been controlled by the U.S. military since the end of World War II known as “Yokota Airspace”. It extends north from the Izu Peninsula of Shizuoka Prefecture to Niigata Prefecture. Commercial aircraft cannot enter this airspace for landings and departures at Tokyo's Haneda Airport without U.S. military approval until now.

The Narita Internationa Airport was built at approximately 60 kilometers (37 mi) far away from the central Tokyo during 6-70's. Farms and villages around Sanrizuka in Narita city were demolished by the Japanese government in order to build the New Tokyo International Airport. There were long-standing protests by local farmers and student radicals during the 1960s and 70s and is still under dispute today.
Some of the activists acquired and shared a small plot of land (One -tsubo / about 3.3m² ) in protest of the eviction. Some established themselves as farmers, living inside of the airport compound.
The Airport was finally opened in 1978. The local community was destroyed after a long struggle and many of villagers left. There were internal disputes between opposition groups of radicals and villagers during 1980's.
Today there are still some pending court cases on land right issues left to be resolved. Three of the farms were kept running inside of the Airport stopping the expansion plan. Since its opening, the use of the airport has been restricted to daytime traffic only due to noise-pollution effecting the surrounding residential area.
Narita airport can be seen as an example of a badly implemented national development strategy, and deemed a failure. Its original function as an international airport for Tokyo has been partially re-taken by Tokyo Haneda airport.

At the end of 1988, after receiving the news of the Emperor Showa Hirohito's collapse in September until his death in January 1989, the Japanese network TV refrained from showing advertisements and entertainment programs. During those four months the bridge in front of the main gate of the Emperors Palace in Tokyo was continuously broadcast at night together with announcements of the Emperors medical condition.
