Location

Chofu, Japan

Chofu Airport is a small general aviation airport located in Chofu, a city in the western Tokyo metropolitan area. It serves as one of the few airports within the Tokyo region, primarily handling private aircraft, flight training, and charter operations rather than scheduled commercial airline services.
