Tasoura Heliport

Economic reasons and land redevelopment. The heliport was a private facility for the adjacent luxury resort, 'Nemu no Sato' (now NEMU RESORT). As the resort's ownership and business model evolved over the years, the demand for or economic viability of a dedicated VIP heliport diminished. The large, flat, and open land was identified as an ideal location for a more profitable and modern venture: a large-scale solar power plant. The closure was a strategic business decision to repurpose the underutilized asset.

The site of the former heliport is now occupied by the 'Nemu Resort Solar Park' (NEMUリゾート ソーラーパーク), a mega solar power generation facility. The solar panels are installed directly over the old helipad and tarmac area. The circular layout of the former heliport is still faintly visible in satellite views beneath the grid of solar panels. The land is actively used for renewable energy production.

Tasoura Heliport was a private heliport built to serve the expansive 'Nemu no Sato' resort, originally developed by Yamaha in the 1960s. Its primary function was to provide exclusive, direct access for high-profile guests, VIPs, and executives, enhancing the resort's image of luxury and convenience. Operations consisted of private, non-scheduled charter helicopter flights, connecting the secluded resort with major cities and airports. The ICAO code 'JP-1055' is an unofficial identifier used by third-party aviation databases; it was not an officially designated public-use heliport under the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) and likely operated as a 'jōgai rikuchakurijō' (off-airfield landing site).

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the heliport. The site has been permanently and completely redeveloped into a major solar energy installation, which represents a significant, long-term capital investment. Reverting the land to aviation use is considered highly improbable.
