, also known as Miyazaki Bougainvillea Airport, is an international airport located 3.2km (02miles) south southeast[2] of Miyazaki city, in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan. The second floor has the head office of Solaseed Air.[3]
The airport opened in 1943 as an Imperial Japanese Navy base during World War II, and was a major base for kamikaze units beginning in February 1945, sending a total of 47 aircraft on suicide missions during operations such as the Battle of Okinawa.[4]
The airport is connected to various locations by bus and taxi. There is also a railway line, the Miyazaki Kūkō Line, which connects the airport with the city center of Miyazaki and northern cities of the prefecture.
