Akashi Kaikyo Bridge
The world's longest suspension bridge connecting Kobe to Awaji Island shortly after departure.
Seto Inland Sea
A stunning mosaic of thousands of small islands and the Shimanami Kaido bridge system.
Mount Aso
Views of one of the world's largest volcanic calderas located in the heart of Kyushu island.
Nanling Mountains
Lush, forested mountain peaks of Fujian and Jiangxi provinces during the mid-flight segment.
Guangzhou Skyline
Views of the Canton Tower and the Zhujiang New Town CBD if the flight patterns approach from the north.
The right side is the 'scenic route' for Japanese geography. For the best experience, choose a window seat ahead of the wing to clearly see the Seto Inland Sea islands. During autumn, the visibility over the Chinese mainland is often higher, providing crisp views of the mountainous terrain before landing.

Osaka Bay
Aerial view of the Kansai International Airport artificial island and the Kii Peninsula coastline during initial ascent.
Sakurajima
Potential distant view of the active volcano and Kagoshima Bay while crossing southern Kyushu.
Pearl River Delta
The massive urban sprawl and industrial heartland of southern China as you descend into Guangzhou.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the southern sun. This side is better for viewing the vastness of the East China Sea and the dense urbanization of the Pearl River Delta during the final approach. Keep an eye out for the distinctive shape of the Kii Peninsula immediately after takeoff.
