Mount Fuji Shizuoka Airport is a regional airport located in Makinohara and Shimada cities in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. Situated approximately 200 kilometers southwest of Tokyo, it serves as a convenient access point to the Shizuoka region and offers views of nearby Mount Fuji under clear weather conditions.
