Hachijojima Airport, Regional airport in Hachijo Island, Japan.
Hachijojima Airport is a regional airport on Hachijo Island in Tokyo Prefecture. It has a single asphalt runway at 92 meters elevation and sits on the northeastern side of the island, surrounded by mountains.
The airfield began as a military installation built by the Imperial Japanese Navy in 1926. Local island authorities took over the facility in 1954 and converted it to civilian airport operations.
The facility represents a vital connection between Tokyo mainland and the Izu Islands, supporting the movement of residents and visitors throughout the region.
All Nippon Airways operates daily flights between the airport and Tokyo's Haneda Airport. Helicopter services also connect the island with neighboring islands in the Izu Islands group.
The airport sits at 92 meters elevation on an island surrounded by steep mountains, with Nishi Yama peak rising 845 meters above sea level nearby. This remote mountain setting gives the runway a dramatic character despite its modest size.
