Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Closure Date

August 1945

Reason for Closure

Military Defeat and Post-War Demilitarization. The airfield was a military installation for the Imperial Japanese Navy. It ceased all operations following the surrender of Japan at the end of World War II and the subsequent dissolution of the Japanese military.

Current Status

The site has been completely redeveloped and is now a large industrial park. The most prominent facility occupying the former airfield grounds is the AGC Inc. (formerly Asahi Glass Co.) Mie Plant. The long, straight roads within this industrial complex are believed to follow the alignment of the original runways and taxiways. A memorial monument (慰霊碑, ireihi) dedicated to the personnel of the Suzuka Naval Air Group exists in the vicinity, preserving the memory of the site's wartime history.

Historical Significance

Suzuka Number 2 (Tamagaki) Airfield was constructed around 1943 during World War II. It was one of two naval airfields in the city and served as a major training base for the Suzuka Naval Air Group (鈴鹿海軍航空隊, Suzuka Kaigun Kōkūtai). Its primary mission was the training of naval aviators for the war effort. As the war progressed and Allied air raids intensified, the base's role likely expanded to include home defense operations. The airfield was a strategic target and was bombed by American B-29s in the final months of the war.

Reopening Prospects

None. The land has been permanently and completely repurposed for heavy industrial use. There are no plans, discussions, or prospects for the site to ever be converted back into an airfield.
