Kasuga Air Base
Kasuga Air Base is a base of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force in Kasuga, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. The base serves as the headquarter of Western Air Defense Force, with its Area of Responsibility encompassing Kyushu, Shikoku and the Chūgoku region on the western part of the country. A hotline connecting Kasuga Air Base and Daegu Air Base in South Korea is also established, through which communications between the two countries are carried out several dozen times a day.The base lacks a runway or dedicated helicopter landing facilities, so flying units commanded from here are actually located at the nearby Fukuoka Airport.
