Tokushima Awaodori Airport / JMSDF Tokushima Air Base is a near sea-level field at 26 ft (8 m), positioned at 34.1326° N, 134.6078° E in the Northern subtropics. The runway snapshot lists 1 runway and a longest runway of 6,560 ft / 1,999 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.
Takabō is the closest retained city-time anchor at 6.8 km. KIX Osaka is the closest retained airport alternative at 67 km.
TKS is compared with KIX Osaka at 67 km, UKB Kobe at 79 km, OKJ Okayama at 98 km, ITM Osaka at 105 km, HIJ Hiroshima at 159 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.
TKS-KIX Osaka: 67 km, about 55m, +0h. TKS-UKB Kobe: 79 km, about 56m, +0h. TKS-OKJ Okayama: 98 km, about 57m, +0h. TKS-ITM Osaka: 105 km, about 58m, +0h. These are distance and timezone references, not live flight availability claims.

TKS carries military or air-base wording in the source names/keywords, so the page treats it as more than a simple passenger terminal reference.
TKS (RJOS) is a near sea-level field at 26 ft (8 m) in the subtropics, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.
TKS sits in a broader regional network with 5 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
TKS's runway record lists 1 runway, with the longest runway at 6,560 ft / 1,999 m and source surfaces recorded as asphalt.
Ministry of Defense is the clearest operator or management signal we currently have on file for TKS.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at tokushima-airport.co.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.
TKS uses Asia/Tokyo (JST, UTC+09:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Tokushima Awaodori Airport / JMSDF Tokushima Air Base is about 82 km from central Tokushima; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
KIX Osaka is the closest retained alternate at 67 km, time difference +0h.
tokushima-airport.co.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 TKS inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
TKS ranks #17 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.
TKS shares Asia/Tokyo with CTS Sapporo JP · FUK Fukuoka JP · HIJ Hiroshima JP · HND Tokyo JP · HSG Saga JP · ITM Osaka JP. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
TKS is 26 ft (8 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include GLA 26 ft (8 m) (0 ft delta) · KIX 26 ft (8 m) (0 ft delta) · ORF 26 ft (8 m) (0 ft delta) · TPA 26 ft (8 m) (0 ft delta) · MYJ 25 ft (8 m) (1 ft delta).
TKS's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are KIX 67 km +0h · UKB 79 km +0h · OKJ 98 km +0h · ITM 105 km +0h.

Because the airport sits well outside central Tokushima, surface transfer planning matters almost as much as flight timing, especially for late arrivals and early departures.
Kobe 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.
Tokushima Awaodori Airport / JMSDF Tokushima Air Base 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 TKS, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
