Da Nang Coastline
The white sandy beaches and the Marble Mountains of central Vietnam visible as you cross the coast.
Taiwanese Alps
Distant but impressive views of Jade Mountain (Yushan) and the central range of Taiwan.
Sakurajima
One of Japan's most active volcanoes, often seen emitting a plume of ash over Kagoshima Bay.
Mount Aso
The enormous caldera and steaming vents of the Aso volcano in the center of Kyushu island.
Hakata Bay
The scenic entry into Fukuoka featuring the city skyline, Fukuoka Tower, and the busy port area.
Request a window seat on the right for the best chance to see Japan's volcanic landscape. Flights typically arrive in the morning or afternoon; morning flights offer the best lighting for the Vietnam coast, while afternoon flights provide clear visibility of the Kyushu mountains. Watch for the dramatic turn over the sea before lining up with the Fukuoka runway.
