Aso Kumamoto Airport (KMJ), officially Kumamoto Airport, serves Kumamoto Prefecture on the island of Kyushu in southern Japan. The airport opened at its current site in 1971. It is now run by a private operator, Kumamoto International Airport Co., Ltd.
The "Aso" in its name points to Mount Aso, the huge active volcano to the east. Many travellers land here to explore it.
The airport is in the town of Mashiki, east of Kumamoto city. The limousine bus to the Sakuramachi Bus Terminal downtown takes about 45 to 55 minutes. Kumamoto Station is roughly an hour away by bus.
A single modern terminal handles both domestic and international flights under one roof. It was built to withstand strong earthquakes. The Sorayoka Visitor Center houses the rental car counters, and the terminal has shops and dining with local products from Kumamoto.
Domestic routes make up most of the schedule. Carriers including ANA and Japan Airlines link Kumamoto with Tokyo Haneda, Osaka Itami and Naha, among other cities. A small number of international routes serve destinations in East Asia. These can change, so check the current timetable.
Kumamoto Castle is the city's defining sight. Suizenji Jojuen Garden is a classic landscape garden. East of the airport, the grasslands and crater of Mount Aso make a rewarding day trip.
If you land late, check the time of the last bus into town before you rely on it. For Aso, a regional bus or rental car is usually easier than going into the city first.
