Location

Omitama, Japan

Ibaraki Airport (IBR/RJAH) is a small regional airport located in Omitama City, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, approximately 80 kilometers northeast of central Tokyo. It shares its facilities with the Japan Air Self-Defense Force's Hyakuri Air Base, operating as a joint civil-military airfield. The airport opened for commercial operations in 2010 after significant investment to develop civil aviation infrastructure alongside the existing military base. It primarily handles low-cost carrier traffic, particularly to destinations in South Korea and China, as well as select domestic routes. Despite its proximity to the Tokyo metropolitan area, Ibaraki Airport remains a relatively small facility in terms of passenger volume, serving as a budget-friendly alternative to the major hubs of Narita and Haneda.
