Flying is extremely convenient for long-distance travel as distances can be covered in a short period of time. If arrival time is of optimum priority, flights can also be used for short and medium distances. Kagoshima and Okinawa Prefectures have many remote islands so there are quite a few airports that facilitate access between the islands and the mainland. The disadvantages of flying are issues such as extensive land requirements and noise pollution meaning that many airport sites are far from city centres, access to airports taking a long time and fairly complicated pre-boarding procedures.
