The closest large one is Shinshu-Matsumoto Airport (MMJ), 8 km (5 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,560 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.

| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shinshu-Matsumoto Airport (regional) | MMJ | 8 km (5 mi) | 6,560 ft | 2,182 ft |
| Toyama Kitokito Airport (regional) | TOY | 84 km (52 mi) | 6,562 ft | 95 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 6,560 ft, MMJ handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 2,182 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
