| ANTI-NARITA AIRPORT STRUGGLE Narita was selected in 1966 as a site for an international airport to replace Haneda Airport, which was reaching the limits of its capacity. However, residents, mainly farmers, rose up against the way the state expected them to simply follow its orders, and began an opposition movement. | |
