Remote island airport serving the Izu archipelago.

Location
Niijima Village, Japan
Niijima Airport (ICAO: RJAN) is a small regional airport located on Niijima Island, part of the Izu Islands chain administered by Tokyo, Japan. It serves as a vital air link for the island's residents and visitors, given the island's remote location in the Philippine Sea roughly 150 kilometers south of Tokyo. The airport handles light aircraft and small turboprop services connecting Niijima Village with the mainland. Passenger volumes are modest, reflecting the island's small population of a few thousand residents. The facility plays an important role in emergency medical transport and essential supply logistics for the island community.
Terminals
The airport features a single small terminal building suited to the low passenger volumes typical of remote island operations.
Getting to & from
Ground transport on the island is limited, with taxis and rental vehicles available near the terminal for the short journey into Niijima Village.

Niijima Village has a handful of local restaurants and seafood eateries serving fresh island catch and Japanese home-style meals. Stocking up on snacks before departure from Tokyo is advisable for early morning flights.

Traveller Tips
  • Flights to Niijima operate on small propeller aircraft with strict baggage weight limits — check allowances with the airline in advance.
  • Ferry services from Tokyo's Takeshiba Pier are a popular alternative when weather permits and offer a scenic overnight journey.
  • The island has limited ATM access, so carry sufficient cash before arriving.
  • Book accommodation well ahead during summer surf season, as the island becomes surprisingly busy with Tokyo day-trippers and surf enthusiasts.
