In an Japanese article the guy says that he was kicked out of Sotobanari island after becoming famous for showing up in a Japanese TV show; many tourists came to the island, the relatives of the owner of the property wanted to do some farming in the property, and some people were concerned that some other street people will do the same thing like him.

For these reasons he was asked to leave the island. If you want to read in more detail below is the article in Japanese.

I don't speak Japanese. Can you explain what you mean by "the property"?

Is the property the island? And does someone else own the island, and they want to farm on the island?

In the Japanese article it just says something like "the owner of the property" and it isn't written in detail.

After reading an another Japanese article, it is written that a Taiwanese bought the whole Sotobanari island around 1985 to pray for the many Taiwanese coal miners who died in the island, but the owner was unfortunately killed in Taiwan in 2013.

I think that the relatives of this owner now own the island and wanted to do some farming on the island.

The island (or the part he’s occupying) would seem to be the property, as that would be the common understanding in English. Is there another interpretation that would make sense to you?
