Shizuoka Airport (静岡空港,Shizuoka Kūkō) (IATA:FSZ,ICAO:RJNS), also calledMt. Fuji Shizuoka Airport, is aninternational airport located inShizuoka Prefecture,Japan. Opened on June 4, 2009,^[2] the airport has domestic service toSapporo,Fukuoka,Naha (Okinawa),Komatsu,Kumamoto, andKagoshima.^[3] International routes connect it toNingbo,Seoul,Taipei, andShanghai.^[4]

The airport is located inMakinohara andShimada. It is 27 km (17 mi) southwest ofShizuoka Station^[5] and about 45 km (28 mi) fromHamamatsu, 80 km (50 mi) fromMount Fuji, 130 km (81 mi) fromNagoya, and 175 km (109 mi) fromTokyo in a direct line.

To allow for growth in air travel toShizuoka,Hamamatsu, and theMount Fuji area, and to fill the gap between Tokyo and Nagoya airports, Shizuoka Prefecture bought 190 hectares (470 acres) of land for Shizuoka Airport. One reason for building this airport in this particular location is that locals and tourists will not have to rely on the severely congested airports of the Tokyo region. Any flights that bypass the Tokyo region will help overall air traffic, including direct international flights. LikeKobe Airport, Shizuoka Airport has come under criticism as Nagoya'sChubu Centrair International Airport is not congested and is also in an expansion phase.

The airport was originally scheduled to open in March 2009, but was delayed by the shortening of the runway from 2,500 m (8,202 ft) to 2,200 m (7,218 ft), by the use of adisplaced threshold that cannot be used forlanding,^[5] due to environmental and noise concerns.

The closest railway station isKanaya Station on theTōkaidō Main Line and theŌigawa Main Line. It is about 6 km from the airport.Taxi service toShizuoka Station, a major station in the area, is available for 8,500yen.

Access information

Free parking for 2,000 cars is available at the airport.^[9]

While theTokaido Shinkansen line travels directly underneath the airport, there is no train station nor have any plans been made to build one.^[9]
