Kanegasaki Airfield

Economic and Industrial Redevelopment. The land was acquired by Kanto Auto Works (which was later integrated into Toyota Motor East Japan, Inc.) for the construction of a large-scale automotive manufacturing plant. The location was chosen as part of a strategy to centralize production in the Tohoku region.

The site is now fully occupied by the Toyota Motor East Japan, Inc. Iwate Plant (トヨタ自動車東日本株式会社 岩手工場). This is a major automotive factory that officially started operations in 2012. The plant is a key production facility for Toyota, manufacturing popular models such as the Toyota Aqua, C-HR, and Yaris Cross. The former runway and airfield grounds have been completely replaced by factory buildings, test tracks, and parking lots.

Kanegasaki Airfield, also known locally as Kanegasaki Glider Port (金ケ崎滑空場) or Isawa Airfield (胆沢飛行場), was a private, general aviation airfield. Its primary role was serving the recreational aviation community. It was a hub for local gliding clubs and operators of light aircraft, featuring a simple grass runway. It held no significant commercial or military importance but was a valuable asset for local aviation enthusiasts in Iwate Prefecture.

None. The site has been permanently and completely redeveloped into a large, operational industrial complex. There are no plans, prospects, or physical possibility for the airfield to be reopened.
