The governor of Okinawa has lobbied lawmakers and officials in the United States to help reduce his prefecture&#039;s burden of hosting US military bases.
                
The southern prefecture of Okinawa hosts about 70 percent of US military facilities in Japan.
                
The US military and Japan&#039;s Self-Defense Forces are stepping up joint drills amid concerns over a possible contingency involving Taiwan.
                
Governor Tamaki Denny arrived in the US on Monday on a six-day visit. He met in Washington with officials of the US State Department and the Pentagon, as well as Congress members.
                
Tamaki reportedly described Okinawa&#039;s burden of hosting US military bases, and his opposition to the Japanese government&#039;s plan to relocate the US Marine Corps Futenma Air Station within the prefecture.
                
He also reportedly called for diplomatic efforts to ease tensions, saying Okinawa should never again become a battlefield.
                
Tamaki held a news conference at the National Press Club on Thursday but only one US media outlet participated among others.
                
Ahead of his return to Japan, Tamaki said he scored a significant achievement in directly conveying his opinions on the issues facing his prefecture.
                
He said he will study future directions after he returns to Okinawa.
