A gateway to eastern Hokkaido
The current airport opened in 1981, replacing a smaller field closer to Obihiro city. It serves the Tokachi region, one of Japan’s most important farming areas and a popular destination for travellers who come for its open landscapes, hot springs and dairy products.
What you’ll see on the live cam
The Tokachi Mainichi camera shows a quiet runway with a handful of daily jet flights to Tokyo. Between them, the stream becomes a live view of rural Hokkaido: big skies, shifting weather and, in winter, snow ploughs clearing the runway after heavy snowfall. It is a relaxing contrast to the busy big-city cams on this site.
Runway
The airport has a single runway, 17/35, 2,500 metres long, running north–south through farmland.
Best times to watch
- Morning and evening: arrivals and departures on the Tokyo route.
- Winter: snow clearing and frosty sunrises.
- Summer: green fields and long evenings.
