Gateway to the pristine Kerama Islands of Okinawa.

Location

Zamami, Japan

Kerama Airport is a small regional airport located on Zamami Island, part of the Kerama Islands group in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. It serves as an important air link connecting the remote island community to Naha, the prefectural capital on the main island of Okinawa. The airport handles light aircraft and small regional turboprop services, supporting both local residents and tourists drawn to the Kerama Islands' renowned coral reefs and clear waters. Given the island's limited size, the airport operates with minimal facilities suited to low-volume traffic. The Kerama Islands are designated as part of Keramashoto National Park, and the airport plays a modest but vital role in providing access to this ecologically significant and popular diving destination.

Terminals

The airport has a single small terminal building suited to low passenger volumes typical of remote island operations.

Getting to & from

Ground transport on Zamami Island is limited, with taxis and local vehicles providing access to the village and ferry port from the airport.
