| Iwami Airport (regional) | IWJ | 68 km (42 mi) | 6,562 ft | 184 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,842 ft, HIJ handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 1,088 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
