A stunning view of the world's longest suspension bridge connecting Honshu to Awaji Island shortly after takeoff.
Seto Inland Sea
An intricate tapestry of hundreds of small islands and aquaculture farms dotting the water.
Fukuoka Skyline
Dramatic views of the coastal metropolis, including the Fukuoka Tower and Hakata Bay.
Tsushima Island
The historic island positioned perfectly between Japan and the Korean Peninsula.
Jeju Northern Coast
Rugged volcanic cliffs and the turquoise waters of the Jeju coastline during the final descent into CJU.
The right side is superior for urban geography and engineering marvels. Keep your camera ready within the first 10 minutes for the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge. During the late afternoon, this side faces north, offering softer lighting and avoiding the direct sun glare typical of westbound routes.
