Fukuoka Cityscape
Panoramic view of the Hakata district and the bustling port area during the initial climb.
Mt. Daisen
The highest peak in the Chugoku region, often called 'Hoki Fuji' for its resemblance to Mt. Fuji.
Lake Shinji
A large brackish lake near Matsue known for its beautiful reflections and surrounding greenery.
Mt. Haku
One of Japan's three holy mountains, providing a majestic snow-capped presence near the destination.
The Japanese Alps
Distant views of the Northern Alps' peaks lining the horizon as the plane traverses the coast.
The right side is highly recommended for landmark spotting. Morning flights provide the best lighting for Mt. Daisen and Mt. Haku. In winter, the snow-covered peaks of the Chugoku range and the Alps create a stunning high-contrast landscape. Ensure you have your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the best view of Mt. Haku.
