Location

Hachinohe, Japan

JMSDF Hachinohe Air Base, also known as Hachinohe Airport (IATA: HHE, ICAO: RJSH), is a dual-use facility located near Hachinohe in Aomori Prefecture, northern Honshu, Japan. It serves as a base for the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) while also accommodating limited civil aviation operations. The airport has historically provided regional air connectivity for the Hachinohe area, though commercial services have been limited due to competition from nearby Misawa Airport and improved rail links via the Tohoku Shinkansen. The JMSDF presence remains the dominant operational focus of the facility.
