Tokushima Awaodori Airport is a joint-use facility shared between commercial civil aviation and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF), operating as JMSDF Tokushima Air Base. Located in Tokushima City on Shikoku Island, it serves as the primary air gateway to Tokushima Prefecture, named after the famous Awa Odori dance festival. The airport handles a modest volume of domestic passengers, with regular services connecting Tokushima to major Japanese hubs such as Tokyo and Sapporo. Its dual-use nature means military training and patrol aircraft regularly share the airfield with commercial jets. The airport's runway and facilities accommodate both narrow-body commercial aircraft and JMSDF maritime patrol and training aircraft. Despite its relatively small scale, it plays a meaningful role in regional connectivity for Shikoku's eastern coast.
