About Yoron Airport
Yoron Airport is the main air gateway to Yoronjima, a small island in Kagoshima Prefecture's Amami Islands in southern Japan. Opened in May 1976 as a third-class airport, it connects the island to Kagoshima, Amami, Okinoerabu and Okinawa's Naha through regular domestic flights.
The airport lies about 2 km from Chabana, the island's main town, making the journey into the local centre short and simple. A compact single passenger terminal handles arrivals, departures, check-in and baggage within one building.
Japan Air Commuter operates services to Kagoshima, Amami and Okinoerabu, while Ryukyu Air Commuter links the island with Naha. These routes make the airport an important connection for residents and visitors traveling between the Amami Islands and Okinawa.
Onward travel is available by taxi, rental car, hotel shuttle and bus, with the island's beaches, resorts and ferry port all within a short drive.
