## Description

The Japan Air Self-Defense Force is the biggest operator at this field: Miho Air Base, which shares the 2,500-metre runway with Yonago Kitaro Airport, is home to Kawasaki C-2 transport squadrons. Civil traffic centres on several daily ANA flights to Tokyo-Haneda, with international links to Seoul operated intermittently. The airport's nickname honours the manga character Kitaro by Shigeru Mizuki, a son of neighbouring Sakaiminato — one of Japan's largest fishing ports. A civil cargo terminal does not exist; seafood and other goods move as belly load or by road, and forwarders route proper air freight via Kansai (KIX) or Tokyo.
