Great! That wasn't an easy one. Found it eventually through the unique looks of that radar tower. Never having been to japan myself (Though I'd rather like to visit one day) 
According to Wikipedia it used to be a KLM (operated) destination. Not sure until when but that's good enough to count I'd say!
Close to 2500 seats capacity waiting in the sun... but where?

Its definitely MAD Middle of nowhere referring to the empty space around these aircraft (parked at the far end of the airport if I remember correctly). In a field basically

I'm sure once Japan re-opens its borders to foreign tourist and business travellers in 2032, those codeshares will resume.

I would say that anything that was a usual (codeshare) destination pre-corona should be ok. I would frown only if someone would post e.g. the Albury horse racetrack (Australia) as KLM destination since during the 1934 London-Melbourne race the Uiver made an emergency landing there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacRobertson_Air_Race
