Japan's westernmost gateway on remote Yonaguni Island.

Location

Yonaguni, Japan

Yonaguni Airport (IATA: OGN, ICAO: ROYN) is a small regional airport serving Yonaguni Island, the westernmost inhabited island of Japan, located in Okinawa Prefecture near the border with Taiwan. The airport provides a vital air link for the island's small population of around 400–500 residents and supports tourism drawn to the island's diving sites and mysterious underwater rock formations. The airport handles a limited number of daily flights and is operated as a simple, single-runway facility suited to the island's modest traffic demands. Due to the island's remote location, air travel is the primary mode of long-distance transportation, as ferry services are infrequent and weather-dependent.

Terminals

The airport has a single small terminal building accommodating the low passenger volumes typical of a remote island facility.

Getting to & from

Taxis and rental cars are available at the airport to reach Yonaguni's small villages, as the island has no public bus service.

Airlines here

Japan Air Commuter (JAC), a subsidiary of Japan Airlines, operates flights connecting Yonaguni to Naha and Ishigaki.
