Mount Fuji Shizuoka Airport is a small airport that was opened in June 2009 to serve the area between Nagoya's Central Japan Airport and Tokyo's Haneda Airport. The airport is located between Shizuoka Prefecture's two main cities, Hamamatsu and Shizuoka, and is named after the prefecture's most famous landmark, Mount Fuji, which is located 80 kilometers away.

Shizuoka Airport is conveniently located near the expressway, while the Tokaido Shinkansen passes directly below it. However, there are currently no plans to build a new station for easy train access to the airport. Instead, access by public transportation is provided by buses (see details below).
JAL, ANA and Fuji Dream Airlines, a new airline based in Shizuoka, are operating flights to six domestic destinations: Sapporo, Fukuoka, Okinawa (Naha), Kanazawa (Komatsu), Kumamoto and Kagoshima.
Furthermore, there are regular international flights to Shanghai and Seoul, as well as various charter flights.
