While the exact date and reason for its closure are not readily available, it is known that the first airport on the Sea of Japan coast, opened in 1929 on an island in the Shinano River, was moved to what was then the village of Matsugazakahama in 1930 and renamed Niigata Airport. This airport was requisitioned by the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force in 1941 and later came under USAAF control after World War II, before being returned to Japanese civilian control on March 31, 1958. It is possible that Bandaijima Airfield was an earlier iteration or a related facility to the current Niigata Airport (KIJ/RJSN), which is located 6.7 km northeast of Niigata Station.
