Mount Unzen
The towering volcanic complex of the Shimabara Peninsula visible shortly after takeoff from Fukuoka.
Amakusa Islands
A beautiful bird's-eye view of the dense cluster of islands in the Amakusa archipelago.
Yoron Island
Glistening coral reefs and the famous Yuri-ga-hama sandbar visible in the turquoise waters.
Ie Island Touchu
The iconic sharp peak of Mount Gusuku rising from the center of Ie Island near Okinawa.
Naha Approach
Views of the Kerama Islands and the western coastline of Okinawa during the final landing sequence.
The right side is highly recommended for sunset flights to witness the sun dipping into the East China Sea. Watch for the colorful coral reefs surrounding the smaller Ryukyu islands roughly 60-70 minutes into the flight. Be prepared for a stunning view of the Kerama Islands just before landing.

Sakurajima
A distant but often clear view of Japan's most active volcano across the Kagoshima Bay.
Pacific Ocean Coastline
Dramatic views of the rugged eastern coast of Kyushu and the deep blue Pacific waters.
Amami Oshima
The lush green mountains and white sand beaches of the eastern side of this UNESCO World Heritage island.
Sunrise Horizon
On morning flights, enjoy the spectacular sight of the sun rising over the Pacific horizon.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight while still catching glimpses of Sakurajima and the Pacific coast. It is also the better side for seeing the urban sprawl of Naha if the plane approaches from the east.
