Kiyosu Airfield

The airfield ceased operations following the end of World War II and the surrender of Japan. As a key military-industrial facility for the Imperial Japanese Army, its function as an airfield was terminated during the subsequent demilitarization and occupation of the country.

The site of the former airfield is no longer recognizable as an aviation facility. The land has been completely redeveloped and is currently occupied by the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Nagoya Aerospace Systems Works (Kiyosu Plant), an industrial complex. The area where the runway once existed now contains factory buildings, parking lots, a large solar panel farm, and the Mitsubishi Juko Meiko athletic ground.

Kiyosu Airfield was a private airfield owned by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, operating as the flight test center for its Nagoya Aircraft Works. It was critically important during World War II, used for the final assembly and test flights of numerous Imperial Japanese Army aircraft, most notably the Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighter. Due to its strategic importance in aircraft production, the airfield and adjacent factory were major targets for Allied bombing raids, particularly by B-29 Superfortresses, in 1944 and 1945. The provided ICAO code, JP-1664, is a non-official identifier, likely from a flight simulator database, as official Japanese ICAO codes begin with 'RJ'.

None. The site has been fully redeveloped for industrial and recreational use, and the surrounding area is heavily urbanized. There are no plans or prospects for reopening the facility as an airfield.
