Iwami Airport (石見空港 Iwami Kūkō?) (IATA: IWJ, ICAO: RJOW) is an airport in Masuda, a city in the Shimane Prefecture of Japan. It is also known as Hagi-Iwami Airport[3] due to its location near the city of Hagi in Yamaguchi Prefecture. Contrary to what the name may make one think, it is not near the old town of Iwami, being about a 2 or 3 hour drive away.
