Location

Fussa, Japan

Yokota Air Base is a United States Air Force installation located in Fussa, Tokyo Metropolis, Japan. It serves as the headquarters of the 374th Airlift Wing and U.S. Forces Japan, making it a critical logistics and command hub for American military operations in the Pacific. The base is not open to the general civilian public for commercial air travel, though it does handle military airlift missions, government charter flights, and limited Space-A (Space Available) travel for eligible military personnel and dependents. The airfield features two parallel runways capable of handling large military transport aircraft. Yokota plays a significant role in regional disaster relief and humanitarian operations, having supported responses to major events such as the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. Joint use discussions with Japanese civil aviation authorities have occurred periodically, though the base remains primarily a military facility.
