Abstract
In this paper, by using the way of oral history and statistical data,I examine what kind of policies in Okinawa City, which economically depends on military bases and tried to shift from the base economy to the tourism economy, and I also consider what kind of problems may arise another subjects. This paper aims to how the relationship between Okinawan people and military police personnel has historically changed through practical problems in making Okinawa City a tourist destination. As the above mentioned, I considered through the following two kinds of facilities: “A-Sign Club” which was an amusement facility for military police personnel and civilian employees after the war period until before the reversion of Okinawa to Japan, and “Post Reversion A-Sign Club” which has existed since the reversion of Okinawa by following almost same type of “A-Sign Club” until the present day.
