Izumo Enmusubi Airport guide

Izumo Airport, marketed as Izumo Enmusubi Airport, serves the Izumo and Matsue area of Shimane Prefecture on the Sea of Japan coast. The name Enmusubi refers to the matchmaking tradition of nearby Izumo Taisha, one of Japan's oldest shrines. The airport opened on 30 June 1966 as a prefectural airport and Shimane Prefecture still operates it.

It has one asphalt runway, 07/25, measuring 2,000 m by 45 m. The runway began at 1,200 m and was lengthened in stages. The airport handled 838,254 passengers in fiscal 2022. Japan Airlines and its partner airlines fly to Tokyo Haneda, Osaka Itami, Fukuoka, Oki and, seasonally, Sapporo. Fuji Dream Airlines connects to Nagoya and Shizuoka.

The single terminal opened in July 1993 on the north side of the runway. It has three boarding bridges, one of which can handle international flights. Check-in, arrivals and the bus and taxi stops are on the ground floor, with shops and departure lounges above. A free observation deck on the third floor looks over the apron. No railway reaches the airport, so buses link it with Matsue, Izumo Station, Izumo Taisha and Tamatsukuri Onsen.
