Remote island airstrip serving volcanic Satsuma Iōjima.

Location

Mishima, Japan

Satsuma Iōjima Airport is a small regional airstrip located on Iōjima (Iwo-jima of Kagoshima Prefecture), one of the Mishima Islands in Kagoshima, Japan. The island is part of Mishima Village and sits in the East China Sea, roughly 40 kilometers south of the Satsuma Peninsula. The airport provides essential air access to this sparsely populated volcanic island, which is home to only a few hundred residents. Iōjima is notable for its active volcano, Iwo-dake, and its geothermally heated coastal waters. Given the island's remoteness, the airport serves as a vital lifeline for residents and occasional visitors, supplementing ferry services that connect the Mishima Islands to the Kagoshima mainland.

Terminals

The airport has a simple, single small terminal building reflecting the island's limited population and traffic volume.

Getting to & from

Ground transport on the island is extremely limited, with the airport located close to the small community it serves.
