📍 What is Oita Airport? Oita Airport is the first airport in Japan to be developed as a horizontal spaceport. In partnership with the American space company Virgin Orbit, they planned to develop space using an aircraft to launch rockets into the air. With its long runway and close to the ocean, the airport is attracting attention as a new base for the space industry. Currently, the plan has been put on hold due to Virgin Orbit's bankruptcy, but Oita Prefecture continues to promote the spaceport concept and is seeking partnerships with new companies. Be sure to check out Oita Airport, where dreams of space are expanding! 📍 Basic information 📍 Location: Itohara, Musashi-cho, Kunisaki-shi, Oita Prefecture ⏰ Business hours: 6:30-21:30 (Terminal building) 🚶 Access 🚌 Approximately 60 minutes by airport bus from Oita Station 🚗 Approximately 50 minutes by car from Oita Expressway, Oita IC #Oita Airport #Horizontal spaceport #Space travel #Space industry #Japan's first #Aerospace #Airport of the future #Beppu travel #Oita tourism #Innovation #0 yen travel February 2025

I'm traveling to Kyushu, a place I've barely been to. The transportation situation in Kyushu is interesting. Unlike Kanto and Kansai, the area doesn't radiate out from a few cities where the population is concentrated, and there are a fair number of planes, trains, and ferries, so it's easy to travel between prefectures. The transportation network hasn't been hit as hard by the population decline as other regions. When I arrived in Kyushu, I chose a Solaseed Air flight to Oita. As expected of Oita, a hot spring prefecture, there is a foot bath spot even at the airport, and the hot springs are being fully promoted. I learned for the first time that even local airports have quite a lot of routes and airlines, and even international flights. #trip2211 #oitaairport #footbath

Oita, the hot spring prefecture ♨️ Souvenir shops, restaurants, observation decks... It's a small, basic airport in the countryside. But as you'd expect from a hot spring prefecture, you can even enjoy a foot bath! Why not try soothing your tired body after your trip? 😆 It's going to develop into a space airport (I think) Hovercrafts are also scheduled to be revived 🙆🏻‍♀️ A giant sushi floats by with your luggage~ I couldn't get the timing right to take a photo💦 #Oita #OitaPrefecture #Airport #OitaAirport
