Hamamatsu Air Base (浜松基地, Hamamatsu-kichi) (ICAO: RJNH) is a Japan Air Self-Defense Force base located 3.0 NM (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) north[1] of the city of Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture, in central Japan.

After World War II, the base facilities were used as an emergency landing strip by the United States Air Force, and were returned to the Japanese government in 1952 for use as a flight training school for the nascent Japan Air Self-Defense Force.

The Blue Impulse squadron was transferred to Matsushima Air Base in 1981; however the team suffered from a fatal mid-air collision during a farewell performance at Hamamatsu in 1982[2] The First Air Wing transitioned from Lockheed T-33A trainers to Kawasaki T-4 trainers in 1988.

In a fiscal reform in 1989, the northern and southern halves of the base were reunited into a single administrative entity.

[3] It has many aircraft from the history of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force on static display, and also a restored example of a World War II era A6M5 Zero.
