Hiroshima Airport is a low-elevation field at 1,088 ft (332 m), positioned at 34.4361° N, 132.9190° E in the Northern subtropics. The runway snapshot lists 1 runway and a longest runway of 9,842 ft / 3,000 m. The airport clock uses Asia/Tokyo (JST, UTC+09:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
Takehara is the closest retained city-time anchor at 11 km. MYJ Matsuyama is the closest retained airport alternative at 71 km.
HIJ is compared with MYJ Matsuyama at 71 km, OKJ Okayama at 93 km, TKS Tokushima at 159 km, KKJ Kitakyushu at 185 km, KIX Osaka at 213 km inside the retained Japan airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.
HIJ-MYJ Matsuyama: 71 km, about 55m, +0h. HIJ-OKJ Okayama: 93 km, about 57m, +0h. HIJ-TKS Tokushima: 159 km, about 1h 2m, +0h. HIJ-KKJ Kitakyushu: 185 km, about 1h 4m, +0h. These are distance and timezone references, not live flight availability claims.

OurAirports classifies HIJ as a large airport with scheduled service, which gives it stronger planning value than a code-only lookup.
HIJ (RJOA) is a low-elevation field at 1,088 ft (332 m) in the subtropics, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.
HIJ sits in a broader regional network with 5 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
HIJ's runway record lists 1 runway, with the longest runway at 9,842 ft / 3,000 m and source surfaces recorded as asphalt.
Hiroshima Prefecture is the clearest operator or management signal we currently have on file for HIJ.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at hij.airport.jp, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
HIJ uses Asia/Tokyo (JST, UTC+09:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Hiroshima Airport is about 43 km from central Hiroshima; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
MYJ Matsuyama is the closest retained alternate at 71 km, time difference +0h.
hij.airport.jp is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
These comparisons place HIJ inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
HIJ ranks #3 in the curated Japan airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 18 airports.
HIJ shares Asia/Tokyo with CTS Sapporo JP · FUK Fukuoka JP · HND Tokyo JP · HSG Saga JP · ITM Osaka JP · KIJ Niigata JP. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
HIJ is 1,088 ft (332 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include CFE 1,090 ft (332 m) (2 ft delta) · LWO 1,071 ft (326 m) (17 ft delta) · ABV 1,123 ft (342 m) (35 ft delta) · BZV 1,048 ft (319 m) (40 ft delta) · PHX 1,135 ft (346 m) (47 ft delta).
HIJ's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are MYJ 71 km +0h · OKJ 93 km +0h · TKS 159 km +0h · KKJ 185 km +0h.

Because the airport sits well outside central Hiroshima, surface transfer planning matters almost as much as flight timing, especially for late arrivals and early departures.
Hiroshima is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Hiroshima Airport has 5 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from HIJ, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.

Hiroshima Airport does not have a long carrier list in the current source trail, so this page emphasizes the durable pieces travelers can safely use here: local time, field identifiers, nearby airports, and timezone differences.
The route timing references show the first cross-timezone planning burden after this airport: Matsuyama (MYJ), Okayama (OKJ), Tokushima (TKS). Treat them as distance and clock cues, then verify flight availability with the carrier.
