Which side of the plane to sit from Jeju International Airport (Cheju) to Chubu Centrair International Airport (Nagoya)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for Japan's most famous maritime scenery, including the island-dotted Seto Inland Sea and the complex industrial and natural beauty of Osaka Bay and Ise Bay.
Seto Inland Sea
A breathtaking expanse featuring thousands of small islands nestled between the main islands of Honshu and Shikoku.
Great Seto Bridge
Spot the massive chain of bridges connecting Kojima to Sakaide, a masterpiece of modern civil engineering.
Kansai International Airport
View the distinct rectangular artificial island in Osaka Bay that serves as a major gateway to the region.
Ise Bay & Pearl Coast
The final approach into Centrair offers views of the intricate coastline of Mie Prefecture, famous for its pearl diving.
The right side is essential for maritime enthusiasts. About 40 minutes into the flight, keep your camera ready for the Seto Inland Sea. During the descent into NGO, look for the unique architecture of the airport itself, which is also built on an artificial island. Afternoon flights may experience some sun glare on this side.
Hallasan National Park
Immediately after takeoff, witness South Korea's highest peak and its volcanic crater rising from the center of Jeju Island.
Chugoku Mountain Range
The rugged, forested spine of western Honshu provides a dramatic backdrop throughout the mid-portion of the flight.
Lake Biwa
As you pass the Kansai region, look north to see Japan's largest freshwater lake shimmering in the distance.
Japanese Alps
On the descent into Nagoya, the snow-capped peaks of the Hida and Kiso mountains appear to the north.
Sit on the left for the best views of Hallasan during departure. This side is also better for viewing the 'Sea of Japan' side of the Chugoku region. Morning flights offer the best lighting as the sun remains to the south, preventing glare on the window.
