Shizuoka Airport (静岡空港, Shizuoka Kūkō) (IATA: FSZ, ICAO: RJNS), also called Mt. Fuji Shizuoka Airport, is an international airport located in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. Opened on June 4, 2009,[2] the airport has domestic service to Sapporo, Fukuoka, Naha (Okinawa), Komatsu, Kumamoto, and Kagoshima.[3] International routes connect it to Ningbo, Seoul, Taipei, and Shanghai.[4]

The airport is located in Makinohara and Shimada. It is 27 km (17 mi) southwest of Shizuoka Station[5] and about 45 km (28 mi) from Hamamatsu, 80 km (50 mi) from Mount Fuji, 130 km (81 mi) from Nagoya, and 175 km (109 mi) from Tokyo in a direct line.

History

[edit]

To allow for growth in air travel to Shizuoka, Hamamatsu, and the Mount Fuji area, and to fill the gap between Tokyo and Nagoya airports, Shizuoka Prefecture bought 190 hectares (470 acres) of land for Shizuoka Airport. One reason for building this airport in this particular location is that locals and tourists will not have to rely on the severely congested airports of the Tokyo region. Any flights that bypass the Tokyo region will help overall air traffic, including direct international flights. Like Kobe Airport, Shizuoka Airport has come under criticism as Nagoya's Chubu Centrair International Airport is not congested and is also in an expansion phase.

The airport was originally scheduled to open in March 2009, but was delayed by the shortening of the runway from 2,500 m (8,202 ft) to 2,200 m (7,218 ft), by the use of a displaced threshold that cannot be used for landing,[5] due to environmental and noise concerns.

[edit]

Free parking for 2,000 cars is available at the airport.[9]

Railway

[edit]

The closest railway station is Kanaya Station on the Tōkaidō Main Line and the Ōigawa Main Line. It is about 6 km from the airport. Taxi service to Shizuoka Station, a major station in the area, is available for 8,500 yen.

While the Tokaido Shinkansen line travels directly underneath the airport, there is no train station nor have any plans been made to build one.[9] Although no plans are currently in place, Shizuoka Prefecture has prepared a feasibility study on this matter, and both parties will continue negotiations on this issue.[10]
