Amami Airport (IATA: ASJ, ICAO: RJKA) is a regional airport serving Amami Oshima, the largest island in the Amami archipelago of Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. The airport provides essential air connectivity for this relatively remote island community, linking it to major Japanese cities including Tokyo and Osaka. Amami Oshima is known for its rich biodiversity, subtropical climate, and designation as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site, making the airport an important entry point for nature tourism. The airport handles both domestic scheduled services and general aviation traffic. The facility is relatively compact, reflecting the regional nature of its operations, but plays a vital role in the economic and social life of the island given the limited alternatives for long-distance travel.
