Hakodate Airport Restricted Area Aircraft Photography Tour
Japanese name:函館空港制限エリア内 航空機撮影ツアー
📅 Sat, Aug 22, 2026
About this event
A special tour will be held in the restricted area (apron) of Hakodate Airport, normally off-limits to the public, allowing participants to photograph powerful aircraft up close. In this 4th edition of the hugely popular tour, which sold out immediately in past editions, open-top buses (roofless buses) are being introduced for the first time. From the open vehicle without window glass, you can directly feel the deep bass roar of the engines and the airport breeze while capturing powerful aircraft with 360-degree realism. From the elevated perspective without worrying about window reflections, you can aim for mystical clear shots unique to a night airport, photograph the arrival scene of flight ANA557, and capture the final flight (ANA559) parked up close. In addition, you can closely observe and photograph 'working vehicles' rarely seen up close, such as snowplows and airport fire engines. With the cooperation of Kojima x Bic Camera Hakodate Store and OM Digital Solutions, rental camera equipment (first-come, first-served basis, limited quantity) is also scheduled. This is an extraordinary, premium experience irresistible to aviation enthusiasts and photography lovers.
