  • Solar Frontier and Chopro Agree 29 MW Megasolar Project with Nagasaki Government to Build and Operate Prefecture’S Largest Megasolar Power Plant at Nagasaki Airport
    NEWS RELEASE Solar Frontier and Chopro Agree 29 MW Megasolar Project with Nagasaki Government To build and operate Prefecture’s largest megasolar power plant at Nagasaki Airport Tokyo－April 1st 2014 －Solar Frontier and Chopro announced today that they have signed a letter of agreement with the Nagasaki Prefectural Government and the Land Development Public Corporation of Nagasaki Prefecture for a 29 MW megasolar power plant on land adjoining Nagasaki Airport, Japan. The agreement, regarding the construction and operation of the solar power plant, was signed on March 31, 2014. The upcoming megasolar project will be the largest in Nagasaki Prefecture and one of the largest in Japan. “Our Nagasaki project integrates the economical advantages of Solar Frontier’s CIS solar energy system solutions, from supplying high-performance CIS modules through to Operation & Maintenance, with Chopro’s expertise as an energy supplier local to Nagasaki,” said Hiroto Tamai, President and Representative Director of Solar Frontier. “Together with leading regional companies like Chopro, we will continue to meet the high demand for solar projects that offer competitive and reliable returns on investment.” After the Kansai International Airport Megasolar Power Plant, this will be the second large-scale installation at an airport that leverages Solar Frontier’s CIS thin-film technology. Compared to crystalline silicon modules, Solar Frontier’s CIS modules have a higher electricity yield (kWh/kWp) in real operating conditions, while their anti-glare properties ensure they don’t affect aircraft operations. “Our joint project is built on a history of trust with Solar Frontier. We now look forward to working on one of the world’s largest installations at an airport – at home in Nagasaki – and to contributing to the region’s economic growth and renewable energy initiative,” said Kenji Araki, Representative Director of Chopro.

  • Challenging Region 0725
    CHALLENGING REGION By International Business & Tourism Promotion Division, Fukuoka Prefectural Government Since olden times, Fukuoka Prefecture has prospered as Japan’s gateway to the rest of Asia, including the Asian Continent. It is located halfway between Tokyo and Shanghai, and is 90 minutes away by air from either of these cities. Another geographic advantage is that it is only a few hours’ flight from other major cities in Asia as well. From Fukuoka, it is possible to visit Shanghai, Taipei or Seoul and return the same day. This makes the prefecture an opti- mum location for businesses that target the Japanese and other Asian markets. The region has an excellent air service network. Fukuoka and Kitakyushu airports, both of which are international airports, together handle 330 flights weekly to 17 cities in the world, primarily in Asia. On domestic routes, there are 332 flights to other major Japanese cities each day. In marine transport, two important ports, Hakata and Kitakyushu, are connected to ports around the world. On the Fukuoka-Shanghai route, high-speed roll-on, roll-off vessels cover the distance in a little less than 27 hours, making it possible to transport cargoes very competitively, both in terms of time and cost. Fukuoka Prefecture, where clusters of industries – including automobiles and semiconductors plus their related industries – are growing, has a gross regional product (GRP) of $164 billion, which is comparable to the gross domestic product (GDP) of Hong Kong or Thailand. The GRP of Kyushu Island, which includes Fukuoka Prefecture, as a whole amounts to $458 billion. If compared with the GDP of countries and regions in the world, it would rank in 17th place.

JAPANESE LAWS RELATED TO AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT AND THE NEED TO REVISE THEM ISAKU SHIBATA* I. INTRODUCTION T HE AERODROME Development Law stipulates that, of vari- ous aerodromes in Japan, those serving civil aviation routes are to be designated as "airports." These airports are regulated by the Aeronautical Law (1952) with regard to safety, the Noise Prevention Law (1967) with regard to noise measures, and the Airport Development Law (1956) with regard to airport devel- opment. The Airport Development Law also regulates the classi- fication of airports that are subject to financing by public funds, as well as those airports' development procedures. Actual development of an airport is carried out based upon airport development plans, which are worked out by the Minis- try of Transport every five years. Though these airport develop- ment plans are called "Airport Development Five Year Plans," they are not based on provisions in the Airport Development Law or on any other laws, but are governmental policies estab- lished at the administrative discretion of the Ministry of Transport.

(2) Connecting at Tokyo International Airport (Haneda) If you are thinking of taking a connecting flight to Nagasaki, flying via Tokyo International Airport (Haneda) is most recommended. You can directly fly to Haneda Airport from more than 10 major cities around the world, and can easily connect to frequent domestic flights to Nagasaki Airport. Flight time between Haneda and Nagasaki is approximately two hours. (3) Connecting at Narita International Airport The other international airport in the Tokyo area is Narita International Airport (formerly also known as New Tokyo International Airport). While Narita International Airport handles more international air traffic than Haneda Airport, any connecting flights to Nagasaki Airport are NOT available. Thus, you need to take a limousine bus to Haneda Airport for connection. The buses depart every 20 minutes and the ride takes 65 to 85 minutes.

  • The Korean War and Japanese Ports: Support for the UN Forces and Its Influences
    The Korean War and Japanese Ports: Support for the UN Forces and Its Influences ISHIMARU Yasuzo Introduction When the Korean War broke out on June 25, 1950, Japan had been under the occupation of the Allied Forces. Nevertheless, Japan achieved its role as a rear base for the supply and transit of soldiers and materials. What linked the Korean Peninsula—the battlefield—and Japan—the rear base—were the sea and air transport routes, and what supported the sea transport routes were the Japanese ports. These ports in fact constituted important hubs connecting the battlefield and the rear base. During the same period, new laws pertaining to ports were established. These were the Port and Harbor Law (Law No. 218 of 1950) and the Old Naval Base City Conversion Law (Law No. 220 of 1950). The Port and Harbor Law established on the principle that the ports should be managed by local administration.1 Meanwhile, the aim of the Old Naval Base City Conversion Law was to establish a peaceful Japan by converting the former naval bases2 into industrial port cities. Therefore, right when Japanese ports were changing to new ports, the nation was thrown into the Korean War, which set back their efforts. The Korean War had a decisive influence on the path of post-war Japan,3 which prompted studies on its political and economic influences, its history, and on the rearmament of Japan. However, although some literature exists on Japan’s support to the Korean War,4 no studies have ever tried to focus on ports. This article discusses the role Japanese ports played during the Korean War and how they were affected by the war.
