Remote Japanese military airfield on Marcus Island.
Location
Ogasawara, Japan
JMSDF Minami Torishima Air Base, designated ICAO RJAM and IATA MUS, is a Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force facility located on Minami Torishima (Marcus Island), Japan's easternmost island in the Pacific Ocean. The island lies approximately 1,850 kilometers southeast of Tokyo and is among the most remote territories administered by Japan.
The base serves primarily as a strategic military and meteorological outpost. It supports JMSDF patrol and reconnaissance operations over the western Pacific. Due to its extreme remoteness and military-only status, the facility has no commercial airline service or public passenger terminals.
