Oita’s coastal airport
Oita Airport opened in 1971 on the Kunisaki Peninsula, replacing an older airfield in Oita city. It is relatively far from the city, and for years a hovercraft service across Beppu Bay linked them – one of the most unusual airport transfers in Japan.
What you’ll see on the live cam
The OAB camera shows domestic flights to Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya, with Solaseed Air and Jetstar Japan adding variety. The sea and the green hills of the peninsula form the backdrop.
Runway
A single 3,000-metre runway, 01/19, runs along the coast.
Best times to watch
- Morning and evening: the main Tokyo flights.
- Clear days: views across the water.
