- The airport is on a plateau in the tea-growing hills, roughly between Shizuoka and Hamamatsu.
- A Tokaido Shinkansen station under the airport has been proposed for years but does not exist.
- The airport's international traffic is largely to China, Taiwan and Korea.
The access bus
- Fujieda City runs and publishes the airport access bus itself, which is unusual: most Japanese airport buses are run by private operators.
- It links the terminal with the south exit of Fujieda station, about 48 scheduled calls, 06:38 to 19:07.
- The airport stop is named Mount Fuji Shizuoka Airport, about 820 metres from the runway reference point.
- Kuko Minami, airport south, is a second stop about 1.3 km away.
Where Fujieda gets you
- Fujieda is on the JR Tokaido main line, the coastal railway through Shizuoka prefecture.
- From there you reach Shizuoka city and Hamamatsu, and change to the Tokaido Shinkansen at Shizuoka.
- Buses also run to Shizuoka and Kakegawa stations, which are the other common connections at this airport.
The airport
- It opened in 2009 on a plateau in the tea country between Shizuoka and Hamamatsu.
- The Tokaido Shinkansen runs directly beneath the site, and a station there has been proposed repeatedly without being built.
- Its international routes are mostly to China, Taiwan and Korea, with domestic flights to Sapporo, Fukuoka and Okinawa.
Practical note
- Nothing runs after about seven in the evening, so a late arrival means a taxi or a hire car.
- Mount Fuji is in the name but not close. The mountain is about 80 km north-east of the airport.
