Onomichi Floating Port vs Onomichi Seaplane Base
The actual name of this facility transliterates directly from katakana as "Onomichi Floating Port", but this is a "Japanese English" turn of phrase that does not work well for native English speakers (since "port" by itself is used for nautical and not aeronautical purposes), so I've taken the liberty of translating this to Onomichi Seaplane Base per our usual listing convention elsewhere. The literal transliteration is included in keywords.
2022 Update
Unlike its twin to the east-southeast, this ultralight airport continues to thrive for now.
Update 2022
N/S runway still appears intact, but hangar structures appear to have been demolished.
re: (no subject)
Reply to @espinielli: Clearly had to be towed or trucked there somehow, considering the lack of runway (or VTOL capability). Pretty wild.
Dibangun dalam beberapa tahun lagi..
Oke..
Dual-use facility
JMSDF Chichijima Airfield has both a seaplane ramp (ShinMaywa US-2 patrol flying boats) and a heliport.
Claimed as the highest airstrip in the world
At 16200 feet, this is definitely about as high-altitude as permanent facilities get. More information on the linked Wiki page, of course.

@david RPLP Legazpi Domestic is now a closed airport, and the IATA code of LGP has been properly transferred to RPLK Bicol International.
re: OurAirports doesn't delete closed airports
Reply to @animebirder: Thank you. Yes, that is correct. We keep closed airports in the database, but not closed heliports or floatplane bases (unless they have special historical interest; we haven't been too consistent, though). They are easy to filter out of the open data export.
OurAirports doesn't delete closed airports
Hi @mforte! My understanding is that closed airports remain on the database for historical records as well as to keep people informed for aviation safety reasons -- so pilots do not attempt to land there, but are aware the facility either exists or previously existed. There is also the chance that if a closed airport still exists, it may still be used in case of emergency (ie Air Canada Flight 143, 23/07/1983).
This also allows passengers and pilots to log historical visits that occurred in the past (ie my own visit to Hong Kong Kai Tak in 1980).
Cheers!

Satellite imaging
The airport can be seen on Google Maps satellite imagery (https://goo.gl/maps/Y6aYMTdwRnK5A6VX6), but not on the map here, if you're confused as to why you can't see the airport.
