Yonago Kitaro Airport / JASDF Miho Air Base guide

Yonago Kitaro Airport lies on the Miho peninsula in western Tottori Prefecture, Japan, about 11 km from Yonago. It shares its airfield with Miho Air Base of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, so civil flights and military operations use the same runway. The site began in 1943 as an Imperial Japanese Navy air base in World War II. The airport carries the name of Kitaro, the yokai character created by Sakaiminato native Shigeru Mizuki.

One asphalt runway, designated 07/25, is 2,500 metres long. The passenger terminal was renovated and the runway extended in 1996. The airport handled 666,445 passengers and 6,715 aircraft movements in 2015, according to figures from Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.

The scheduled network is small. All Nippon Airways and ANA Wings fly to Tokyo Haneda, and Air Seoul has flown to Seoul Incheon. Tigerair Taiwan has operated Taipei flights. Local buses serve the terminal, and the Sakai Line railway stops at Yonago Airport Station, which links the airport with Yonago and Sakaiminato.
