Gangwon Highlands
Lush forest coverage and mountainous terrain of South Korea's eastern coastal provinces.
Mount Hakusan
A stunning view of one of Japan's most sacred snow-capped peaks located south of the airport.
Kanazawa Cityscape
A clear view of the 'Little Kyoto' of Japan, including the Tedori River and the city's historic layout on final approach.
Southern Horizon
Superior lighting for photography during midday flights, capturing the vastness of the Sea of Japan.
The right side is essential for seeing Mount Hakusan. For the best photography, book a morning flight when the sun illuminates the mountains from the east, and choose a seat behind the wing to keep the engine out of your landscape shots.
