Taebaek Mountains
The rugged 'backbone' of the Korean Peninsula visible shortly after departing the Seoul area.
Sea of Japan
A vast blue expanse during the mid-flight crossing between the two nations.
Lake Biwa
Japan's largest freshwater lake, appearing as a massive blue sapphire surrounded by mountains.
Central Japanese Alps
Dramatic, often snow-capped peaks of the Hida and Kiso ranges visible to the North/East.
Nagoya Cityscape
A sprawling view of the Aichi Prefecture urban center as the plane banks toward the airport.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. About 20 minutes before landing, look for the distinct shape of Lake Biwa. Morning flights provide excellent front-lit views of the Japanese Alps, which are particularly stunning when snow-covered from December to April.

Busan Harbor
One of the world's busiest container ports visible as you exit the Korean coast.
Tsushima Island
The strategic archipelago located in the middle of the Korea Strait.
Osaka and Kyoto
The dense urban sprawl of the Kansai region visible in the distance to the South.
Ise Bay
The coastal waters surrounding the sacred Ise area as you enter the final approach.
Centrair Island
The impressive man-made island upon which Chubu Centrair International Airport is built.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. Keep an eye out for the artificial island of Kansai International Airport (KIX) far to the south during the mid-to-late phase of the flight. The approach over Ise Bay offers great views of the sea-based airport structure.
