A planned technology graduate school in Okinawa will be located in the village of Onna on Okinawa island, Hiroyuki Hosoda, the state minister in charge of Okinawa affairs, said Friday.
The municipal government of Onna, a resort area in the western part of the island, owns 90 percent of the proposed 280-hectare site for the school, making it easy to secure the property for construction.
It beat out the city of Itoman and the village of Kitanakagusuku.
