Tamaki said Tuesday the prefectural government will study the decision and may move to apply for screening by the Central and Local Government Dispute Management Council under the auspices of Japan's Internal Affairs Ministry.

Tamaki went on to say that he will continue to do everything in his power to keep his campaign pledge of blocking the construction of the new U.S. base.

Okinawa hosts the vast majority of Japan's U.S. bases, yet the tiny subtropical island accounts for just a fraction of Japan's total land mass.

Instances of violent crimes, including murder and rape by U.S. military-linked personnel along with a near constant string of U.S. military related accidents, particularly those involving aircraft, have led to rising anti-U.S. sentiment on the island.
