Tomitaka Airfield serves Hyuga, JP.
Tomitaka Airfield (JP-2302) in Hyuga, Japan, is a defunct airport with significant historical importance. It served as a support base for kamikaze operations during World War II, particularly for the Jinrai Butai (Thunder Gods Corps) and other kamikaze squadrons. While many kamikaze squadrons used Tomitaka, no direct kamikaze attacks were launched from this base; instead, aircraft proceeded to other air bases like Kanoya for their final sorties.
After the war, most of the base's facilities were removed, and the land was converted to agricultural use, though it has since been redeveloped into residential areas. Today, a monument on the grounds of Kyōwa Hospital commemorates the kamikaze special attack corps members, and a section of the original concrete runway is preserved in the hospital's parking lot. The airfield does not have current METAR or TAF reports, with the closest aviation weather available at Miyazaki Airport,.
