ASJ → ITM
Which side of the plane to sit from Amami Airport (Amami) to Osaka International Airport (Osaka)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the iconic Pacific islands early in the flight and provides a spectacular, close-up panoramic view of the Osaka city skyline and Yodo River during the final approach into ITM.
Yakushima Island
The prehistoric, mist-shrouded forests of this UNESCO World Heritage site are visible shortly after departure.
Tanegashima
The flat island known for Japan's primary space center can often be spotted to the east.
Kii Peninsula
The dense, mountainous terrain of Wakayama stretching toward the Pacific Ocean.
Osaka Skyline
A breathtaking view of Umeda's skyscrapers, the Yodo River, and the dense urban grid of central Osaka on final approach.
The right side is essential for the famous 'urban landing' experience at ITM. For the best views of the Osaka city lights, book a flight arriving just after sunset. Keep your camera ready as the plane descends low over the city rooftops.
Amami Coastline
Crystal clear turquoise waters and coral reefs immediately after takeoff from ASJ.
Kagoshima Peninsula
Views of the rugged southern coastline of Kyushu and the Kinko Bay area.
Akashi Kaikyo Bridge
A stunning perspective of the world's longest suspension bridge connecting Awaji Island to Kobe.
Kobe Port
The industrial beauty of Kobe's harbor and the artificial islands of Port Island and Rokko Island.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side is excellent for viewing the bridge architecture and the mountain range of Mt. Rokko during the descent phase.
