Yabuki Airfield

Military Decommissioning. The airfield was an Imperial Japanese Army Air Service base that was abandoned following the end of World War II and the subsequent demilitarization of Japan. Its purpose as a military installation ceased to exist with Japan's surrender.

The former airfield site has been completely redeveloped. It is now the Yabuki Central Industrial Park (矢吹中核工業団地), a large industrial zone hosting numerous factories and businesses. While most physical traces of the runway and facilities have been obliterated by development, a memorial monument (慰霊碑) exists on the site to commemorate the airmen who served and died there.

Originally known as Yabuki Army Airfield (矢吹陸軍飛行場), it was a significant training base for the Imperial Japanese Army Air Service during World War II, established around 1941. It primarily served to train fighter pilots, including those for advanced aircraft like the Nakajima Ki-43 'Hayabusa' and Nakajima Ki-84 'Hayate'. The base was a target for Allied air raids in the final months of the war. After the war, it was briefly controlled by Allied occupation forces before being decommissioned and the land was eventually returned for civilian use.

None. The site is fully occupied by a major industrial park, and its complete redevelopment makes any prospect of reopening as an airfield logistically and economically infeasible. The nearby Fukushima Airport (RJSF / FKS) serves the region's current aviation needs.
