FUJ β FUK
Which side of the plane to sit from Fukue Airport (Fukue) to Fukuoka Airport (Fukuoka)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic view of the Goto archipelago's intricate coastlines during departure and a stunning close-up of the Fukuoka city skyline during the final approach.
Mount Onake
A distinct cinder cone volcano located near Fukue Airport, providing a dramatic sight immediately after takeoff.
Goto Archipelago
A stunning mosaic of emerald-green islands and complex inlets as the plane heads northeast.
Itoshima Peninsula
The rugged western coastline of Fukuoka, featuring scenic beaches and the iconic Mount Kaya.
Fukuoka City Skyline
A breathtaking view of the dense urban center, including the Fukuoka Tower and the Waterfront area.
PayPay Dome
The massive, retractable-roof stadium located along the Momochi seaside, visible just before landing.
The right side is highly recommended for urban photography enthusiasts. If the flight arrives from the north (Runway 16), you will fly directly alongside the Fukuoka skyline. For departures in the late afternoon, the golden hour light creates a beautiful glow over the Goto Islands.
Tsushima Strait
Expansive views of the deep blue waters separating the Japanese mainland from the Korean peninsula.
Ukujima and Ojika
Aerial perspectives of the northernmost islands in the Goto chain, known for their volcanic topography.
Shikanoshima Island
A historic island linked to the mainland by a scenic sandbar, visible as you enter Hakata Bay.
Uminonakamichi
The long, narrow peninsula and seaside park that separates Hakata Bay from the Sea of Japan.
Choose the left side if you enjoy maritime views and want a clear look at the Shikanoshima sandbar during the northern approach. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, providing excellent clarity for photos of the turquoise waters near the islands.
