It’s a proposal. We talked about it a couple weeks back in the Aircraft carrier thread.
Japan at this point seems more likely to make more minor modifications so she can host the F35B. some advocate for a ramp. I think just an angled deck and thermal coating would do with the B.
Where that (Catbar) would Need EMALS and Arresting gear, blast deflectors demanding more power for a small air arm. Might as well build a larger carrier.
On the other hand with the exception of the F35C the Japanese operate everything on that deck already. V22, E2D,MH60.
