About Nakashibetsu Airport
Overview
Nakashibetsu Airport serves the northeastern region of Hokkaido, Japan, located at an elevation of 234 feet MSL. The medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure in a remote area, supporting regional transportation and local operational needs with its single 6,560-foot asphalt runway.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions 79% of the time, with relatively stable weather patterns. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -15°C to 27°C, and prevailing southwestern winds average 7.1 knots with occasional gusts up to 26 knots. Fog occurs infrequently, affecting only 2.6% of observations, and visibility typically remains excellent at an average of 10 statute miles.
Notable Features
Situated in Hokkaido's northeastern landscape, Nakashibetsu Airport is positioned in a region with potentially challenging maritime and continental meteorological influences. The airport's single runway (08/26) demonstrates favorable wind alignment, with 100% of winds supporting runway operations and an average crosswind component of only 4 knots.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect consistent approach conditions, with January, September, and October offering the most stable VFR weather. The runway's orientation and wind patterns suggest minimal wind-related approach complications, though standard cold-weather and maritime environment precautions remain advisable during winter and transitional seasons.
