Taebaek Mountains
The 'backbone' of the Korean Peninsula, featuring steep ridges and deep valleys shortly after departure from Incheon.
Mount Iwaki
Known as 'Tsugaru Fuji' for its perfect conical shape, this volcano is a stunning landmark visible during the descent.
Hirosaki City
A clear view of the historic city and its surrounding apple orchards just before reaching Aomori.
Hakkoda Mountains
A majestic range of volcanic peaks located south of Aomori city, often capped in heavy snow from November to May.
The right side is ideal for capturing the most famous landmarks of the Aomori region. For the best photography of Mount Iwaki, choose an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the western face of the volcano. During autumn, the mountain ranges on both sides display vibrant foliage, but the Japanese side is particularly famous for its colorful slopes.

Views of the Incheon Grand Bridge and the futuristic Songdo International Business District immediately after takeoff.
East Sea Expanse
A serene view of the deep blue waters of the East Sea (Sea of Japan) during the mid-flight cruise.
Tsugaru Peninsula
The northernmost tip of Honshu and the Tsugaru Strait visible as the aircraft approaches the Japanese coast.
Aomori Bay
Aerial views of the bay's coastline and Aomori Port as the plane maneuvers for landing.
Opt for the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. Watch closely during the final 15 minutes of the flight to spot the rugged coastline of the Tsugaru Strait. In winter, this side offers a stark, beautiful contrast between the dark sea and the snow-covered northern capes.
