Meiji Airfield

The airfield ceased all military operations following Japan's surrender at the end of World War II. As an Imperial Japanese Army facility, it was rendered obsolete by the dissolution of the Japanese military and was subsequently dismantled during the Allied occupation.

The site of the former airfield has been completely redeveloped. The land is now a dense mix of industrial complexes, including major factories for automotive parts companies like Denso and Aisin, alongside residential and commercial areas. A large portion of the former runway and airfield grounds is now occupied by the Anjo Industrial and Cultural Park, known as 'Denpark'. Several monuments and historical markers, including the 'Meiji Hikōjō no Hi' (明治飛行場之碑) monument, have been erected in the vicinity to commemorate the airfield's history and those who served there.

Meiji Airfield (明治陸軍飛行場, Meiji Rikugun Hikōjō) was a military airbase for the Imperial Japanese Army Air Service. Constructed between 1943 and its completion in March 1944, its primary purpose was to serve as a training base for new pilots and to provide air defense for the vital industrial region of Nagoya. The airfield hosted units such as the 11th Air Division's training squadron and the 55th Sentai (Air Group), which was equipped with Kawasaki Ki-61 'Hien' fighter aircraft. The base was a target of Allied air raids during the final year of the war.

None. The land has been fully and irreversibly redeveloped for industrial, recreational, and residential purposes for over 70 years. There are no plans, discussions, or possibilities for reopening it as an airport.
