Nijo Castle Airstrip

Not applicable, as the airport is a fictional entity and was never an operational facility.

The site is Nijo Castle (二条城, Nijō-jō), a major historical and cultural tourist attraction in Kyoto. It is a flatland castle complex that served as the residence of the first Tokugawa shogun. It is preserved as a historic site and is open to the public.

The entity 'Nijo Castle Airstrip (JP-1294)' is fictional and has no historical significance as an aviation facility. The provided coordinates (35.013611, 135.751389) point directly to Nijo Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Japan's most important historical landmarks, built in 1603. The site consists of palaces, extensive gardens, and massive stone walls and moats, making it physically and legally impossible for an airstrip to have ever existed there. The ICAO code 'JP-1294' is not a valid official ICAO identifier for Japan (which uses the 'RJ' prefix) and likely originates from a user-created database for flight simulation software (e.g., X-Plane, Microsoft Flight Simulator) where users can create and place fictional airports.

There are no prospects for 'reopening' as the airport never existed. The site is a protected UNESCO World Heritage site, and there are no plans, nor would it be feasible, to construct an airport at this location.
