| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kobe Airport | UKB | 20 km (12 mi) | 8,202 ft | 22 ft |

Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,202 ft, UKB handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 22 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
