🇯🇵 Fujisawa Airfield

Fujisawa Airfield (JP-1227) was established in June 1944 by the Imperial Japanese Navy, primarily serving as a training ground for aircraft radio repair, radar, and wireless controlled munitions crews. The airfield was abandoned after World War II, briefly used by the U.S. Army Air Corps, and later by a company named Toyo for aircraft development until its dissolution in 1969. Today, the site of the former runway is occupied by a large manufacturing plant and a high school, while the administrative area has become a Kanagawa sports training facility and park. Although most traces are gone, a roped-off hardened bunker and the original Fujisawa Country Club clubhouse, which served as wartime headquarters, still remain within the sports park.
