Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panorama of the island-studded Seto Inland Sea and the dramatic volcanic landscapes of Kyushu before crossing into mainland China.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌉

Akashi Kaikyo Bridge

Views of the world's longest suspension bridge connecting Kobe to Awaji Island.

🗾

Seto Inland Sea

An incredible view of the 'Aegean of the East' with its thousands of tiny, forested islands.

🌋

Mount Unzen

The majestic volcanic peaks of the Shimabara Peninsula near Nagasaki.

⛰️

Fujian Mountains

The lush, jagged mountain ranges of southeastern China as you cross the mainland coast.

🐍

Min River

The winding path of the Min River as it flows through Fuzhou city toward the sea.

The right side is the 'cool side' for morning flights, staying in the shade. It offers more diverse geographic features, especially the intricate island patterns of Japan. On approach to FOC, sit by the window to see the transition from the East China Sea to the steep, green hills of Fujian.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🛫

Kansai Airport Island

A clear view of the massive man-made island architecture of KIX immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Cape Ashizuri

The southernmost point of Shikoku island, featuring dramatic cliffs meeting the Pacific Ocean.

🌋

Sakurajima

Distant but visible views of the smoking volcanic cone in Kagoshima Bay during the transit over southern Kyushu.

🏝️

Matsu Islands

A cluster of islands in the Taiwan Strait visible during the final descent into Fujian province.

🏗️

Fuzhou Port

The industrial shipping hubs and coastal infrastructure of the Min River estuary.

The left side faces south; expect significant glare and direct sunlight on morning flights. This side is better for afternoon departures when the sun has moved west. Keep an eye out for the distinct V-shaped coastline of Shikoku about 35 minutes into the flight.
