Which side of the plane to sit from Fukue Airport (Fukue) to Nagasaki Airport (Nagasaki)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most iconic views of the Nagasaki Peninsula, the city's historic harbor, and the distant volcanic peaks of the Shimabara Peninsula.
Mt. Nanatsu
The distinctive volcanic landscape of Fukue Island visible immediately after takeoff.
Nagasaki City
A stunning bird's-eye view of the city's unique geography, tucked between steep hills and a deep bay.
Mt. Unzen
The towering volcanic peaks of the Shimabara Peninsula dominating the eastern horizon.
Nagasaki Peninsula
The rugged finger of land that guards the entrance to Nagasaki's world-famous port.
Omura Bay
The serene, enclosed sea that you glide over before landing on the offshore airport island.
For the most dramatic experience, choose the right side during morning flights when the sun illuminates the Nagasaki hills. Watch for the 'Megamiohashi' bridge at the harbor entrance. Since this is a very short flight (approx. 30 mins), keep your camera ready from the moment of liftoff.
Nakadori Island
The northern islands of the Goto archipelago with their dramatic, serrated coastlines.
Saikai National Park
Expansive views of the protected marine areas and the deep blue East China Sea.
Kujukushima Islands
The famous '99 Islands' area visible in the distance near Sasebo on a clear day.
Sasebo Navy Base
Distant glimpses of the industrial shipyards and naval port infrastructure.
Sit on the left if you prefer looking at the remote, uninhabited islands of the northern Goto chain. This side is better in the late afternoon as it avoids the harsh southern sun glare reflecting off the water.
