Miyazaki Airport was built in 1943 as a former Imperial Japanese Navy flight training field from which some kamikaze pilots took off on suicide attack missions.

It was originally a military airfield during the war, which explains why there are bombs in the ground. Not exactly a comforting thought... I bet it's hard to detect a bomb that's been buried for 80 years and had a foundation laid on top of it.
