Location
Sendai, Japan
JGSDF Kasuminome Airfield (ICAO: RJSU) is a military aviation facility operated by the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, located in the Kasuminome area near Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. The airfield primarily supports JGSDF helicopter and fixed-wing operations in the northeastern Tohoku region.
The airfield is not open to commercial aviation and has no scheduled passenger services. It serves an operational military role, supporting regional defense activities and disaster response missions, particularly relevant given the Tohoku region's history of seismic and tsunami events.
Civilian air travel in the Sendai area is handled by Sendai Airport (IATA: SDJ, ICAO: RJSS), a separate facility located south of the city. Kasuminome Airfield remains strictly a military installation with no public terminal infrastructure.
