Japan Air Self-Defense Force's primary northern air base.

Location
Chitose, Japan
JASDF Chitose Air Base (ICAO: RJCJ) is a major military airfield operated by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, located near Chitose city on the island of Hokkaido, Japan. It serves as a key installation for air defense operations in northern Japan and hosts fighter aircraft units tasked with defending Japanese airspace. The base is co-located in the general vicinity of New Chitose Airport (RJCC), the major civilian airport serving the Sapporo metropolitan area, though the two facilities operate independently. JASDF Chitose plays a critical strategic role given Hokkaido's proximity to Russia and the broader northern Pacific region. The base is home to the 2nd Air Wing of the JASDF, which operates advanced fighter aircraft including the F-15J Eagle. It is one of the most operationally significant JASDF installations due to its geographic position.
