Hasegawa Airfield

Not applicable. There is no evidence the airport ever existed as a physical entity. The identifier 'JP-2218' is not an official ICAO code but a pseudo-code used by third-party, user-edited databases. The entry likely originated as a fictional creation for flight simulators or from an error in data aggregation.

The coordinates 36.20602, 137.95135 point to a residential and light industrial area within the Kanda district of Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture. Satellite imagery of the location shows no evidence or remnants of runways, taxiways, hangars, or any other airport infrastructure. The site is located approximately 2-3 kilometers northeast of the real, operational Matsumoto Airport (ICAO: RJAF, IATA: MMJ).

There is no recorded historical significance as the airport is not found in any official Japanese aviation records. The name 'Hasegawa' is famously associated with the Hasegawa Corporation, a major Japanese manufacturer of plastic model kits, particularly aircraft. It is highly probable that the airfield was named as an homage to this company by a flight simulator enthusiast. Its 'history' is confined to these unofficial databases and simulator communities.

None. As the airport is considered fictional and a physical site never existed, there are no prospects for it to 'reopen'.
