: The project is set to be completed by fiscal 2020, according to Asahi Shimbun. Rebuilding the facility is a necessary step to help preserve the site, said an official with the land ministry, which is in charge of the project. The atoll mostly comprises a series of concrete encasings upon which a multilevel building on a platform rises above the water. We hope to start working on the construction as soon as possible. Since the early 2000s, Chinese oceanographic research vessels have been active in local waters. Located about 1,600 kilometers south of Osaka, the uninhabited atoll measuring just 4.5 km east to west and 1.7 km north to south forms part of the Ogasawara islands.
