"Japanese Farmer's Decades-Long Battle Preserves Ancestral Land Amid Narita Airport Expansion"

Takao Shito, a 73-year-old Japanese farmer, has been protesting for over 50 years to stay on his ancestral land in the middle of Narita airport. Despite the noise and pollution caused by the airport, Shito remains committed to his cause, which has become the longest-running social movement in Japanese history. The airport was met with opposition from local farmers who resented being pushed off their land, leading to decades of violent protests. Shito's commitment has strained relationships in his community, but he remains determined to keep farming his ancestral land, even though the airport is here to stay.
