Okinawa: Naha Airport
Naha Airport (OKA) is the main airport serving Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, located about 4 kilometers west of downtown Naha on the island's southern coast. It operates as both a civil and military airfield, sharing facilities with the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. The airport has two parallel runways, the primary one measuring 3,000 meters in length and the second opened in 2020 to expand capacity. Handling more than 20 million passengers per year, Naha ranks among the ten busiest airports in Japan. It connects Okinawa with around 30 domestic destinations such as Tokyo, Osaka, and Fukuoka, along with several international routes to Taiwan, South Korea, and China. With its modern terminals, efficient transport links, and scenic coastal location, Naha Airport serves as the vital gateway to Okinawa's tropical islands and growing tourism industry.
The webcams at Naha Airport in Okinawa offer some of the most vivid and atmospheric live aviation views in Japan. The main webcam is mounted on the roof of the airport's passenger terminal and features live sound, allowing viewers to hear jet engines, ground vehicles, and coastal wind. From its elevated position, it looks directly toward the control tower and main runway, capturing aircraft taking off, landing, and parked on the apron. A second webcam, also with sound, provides a slightly different angle of the same airfield, showing the tower, runway, and nearby water from a lateral viewpoint. The natural sounds of planes and the sea create a realistic and immersive experience for aviation fans. A third webcam is located at Yonah's Garden, a steakhouse at Umikaji Terrace on Senaga Island, just a 10-minute drive from the airport. Streaming 24 hours a day, it shows planes landing on the second runway against the backdrop of Okinawa's turquoise ocean, blue sky, and occasional terrace bonfire–capturing the perfect blend of aviation energy and island serenity.
