FUK â NGO
Which side of the plane to sit from Fukuoka Airport (Fukuoka) to Chubu Centrair International Airport (Nagoya)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an exceptional perspective of the 'Setouchi' archipelago and the rugged peaks of Shikoku, ending with a strategic view toward Mount Fuji during the descent into Nagoya.
Kunisaki Peninsula
Unique circular volcanic topography and lush valleys visible shortly after departing Fukuoka.
Seto Inland Sea Islands
A stunning mosaic of hundreds of small islands dotting the blue waters of the inland sea.
Mt. Ishizuchi
The highest peak in Western Japan, located in the Shikoku mountain range, often capped with snow in winter.
Ise-Shima Coastline
The jagged rias coastline of the Kii Peninsula, famous for its pearl rafts and secluded inlets.
Mount Fuji
On clear days, Japan's most iconic peak is visible on the eastern horizon during the final approach to Chubu.
The right side is the definitive choice for nature lovers. For the best chance to see Mount Fuji, book a winter flight when the air is driest. During the approach to NGO, keep your eyes on the horizon to the east as the plane descends over Ise Bay for a distant but majestic view of the volcano.
Kanmon Straits
The narrow body of water separating Kyushu and Honshu, featuring the impressive Kanmon Bridge.
Hiroshima & Miyajima
A sprawling view of Hiroshima City and the sacred island of Itsukushima nestled in the bay.
Himeji Castle
The 'White Heron' castle is visible as a bright white speck against the Hyogo landscape.
Akashi Kaikyo Bridge
The world's second-longest suspension bridge connecting the city of Kobe to Awaji Island.
Osaka Bay
The dense metropolitan sprawl of the Kansai region and the artificial islands of the port area.
Sit on the left if you prefer urban landscapes and engineering marvels like the Great Seto Bridges. Morning flights are ideal for the left side as the sun is positioned to the south, preventing harsh glare on your window while looking north toward Honshu.
