Taiki Aerospace Research Field is a facility of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. It is located within the Taiki Multi-Purpose Aerospace Park (大樹町多目的航空公園) of Taiki, Hokkaido, Japan.
It is used, among other things, for scientific balloon launches. Rocket launch pad of Interstellar Technologies (IST) resides next to the field.
In April 2021, a plan to expand the park to form Hokkaido Spaceport was announced.[1] The launch pad currently used by IST for the sounding rockets is called Launch Complex-0.
