Japan's Airports & Aviation Culture

About this book

Japan is a country that flies — across its own archipelago first of all. This is the complete guide to its airports and aviation culture: 200 entries covering great international gateways, regional airports, island airfields, disused strips and aviation landmarks, each written in one traveller's format — what the place is, how it grew, what to see there, and how the visit works.

From the observation decks of Haneda and Chitose to remote island strips where the airport is the town's front door, from seaplane harbours and wartime airfields to the museums, shrines and viewing parks that aviation has left across the country — every entry gives the honest outline, and because schedules, fares and hours change, the book deliberately never states them as fixed facts: it teaches you what to confirm, and where, before you travel.

Written and created in Japan by Japanese author Aki Wakamatsu. Published by Takikawa TOKOTOKO Kids LLC, a Japanese publisher in Hokkaido, Japan. Authentic Japanese content, carefully made in Japan — not mass-produced.
