Do we know if Japan has any plans for more aegis destroyers?
Japan's navy is quite impressive given they have 8 055 near-equivalents in the Maya, Atago and Kongo classes and 6 052D near-equivalents in the Akizuki and Takanami classes and up to 39 054A near-equivalents (9 Murasame, 8 Asagiri, 22 planned Mogami). I was actually under the impression it was fairly demilitarised.

From the Chinese Military site;
According to Japan’s Sankei Shimbun, the Land Self-Defense Force’s “Amphibious Regiment”, known as the Japanese version of the “Marine Corps,” as part of the comprehensive exercise of the Land, Sea and Air Self-Defense Forces, was in Tanegashima, Kagoshima Prefecture on the 25th. The content of amphibious combat training was disclosed to the media. The main task of the "Amphibious Mobile Corps" is to "defend the Southwestern Islands." The training the reporter observed that day was based on the hypothetical scenario of "retaking the occupied outlying islands".
