Amakusa Islands
Scattered volcanic islands off the coast of Kumamoto visible shortly after takeoff from Fukuoka.
East China Sea

Xiamen Island
The dense urban center of Xiamen and its surrounding bays are often visible upon reaching the Chinese coast.
Shantou Coastline

Choose a window seat forward of the wing for the clearest views of the Kyushu islands. For morning departures, the sun will be on this side, so bring polarized sunglasses to reduce glare from the sea. The transition from the open ocean to the dense urban sprawl of the Pearl River Delta is the visual highlight of this route.
