Awaji Island & Naruto
Views of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge and the swirling waters of the Naruto Strait between Awaji and Shikoku.
Shikoku Coastline
The dramatic cliffs and deep blue waters of the Kochi coastline, including Cape Ashizuri.
Yakushima
The UNESCO-listed island featuring Mt. Miyanoura, the highest peak in Kyushu, often poking through the clouds.
Tokara Islands
A remote string of volcanic islands that appear as emerald dots in the vast East China Sea.
Kasari Peninsula
The northern tip of Amami Oshima with its jagged coastline and pristine white sand beaches just before landing.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the East China Sea. Yakushima is the geographic highlight of this route; keep your camera ready about 50-60 minutes after take-off. Use a window seat behind the wing to avoid engine heat distortion.
