Search flights from KIX to GMP
Osaka Skyline
Dense urban sprawl featuring landmarks like Abeno Harukas and the Rokko mountain range bordering Kobe.
Taebaek Mountains
The rugged 'backbone' of the Korean Peninsula, featuring jagged ridges and deep valleys as you enter Korean airspace.
Central Seoul
Breathtaking views of the Han River, N Seoul Tower on Namsan, and the skyscrapers of the capital during descent.
Bukhansan National Park
The majestic white granite peaks that form a natural northern border to the Seoul metropolitan area.
Recommended for capturing the Taebaek Mountains and the urban sprawl of Seoul. For the best views of the Han River and city center landmarks, a seat behind the wing on the right is optimal during the standard eastern approach. Morning flights are best to avoid sun glare when looking north toward the mountains.

Osaka Bay & KIX
A clear view of the engineering marvel of the Kansai artificial island and the surrounding industrial port zones.
Akashi Kaikyo Bridge
The world's longest suspension bridge connecting Kobe to Awaji Island, visible shortly after departure.
Seto Inland Sea
A vast archipelago with hundreds of small, forested islands visible if the flight path follows the southern route.
Busan Coastline
The high-rise coastal skyline and busy shipping lanes of South Korea's primary port city as you cross the sea.
Ideal for views of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge and the myriad islands of the Seto Inland Sea. During winter months, look for snow-covered peaks in the Shikoku region to the south. Opt for an afternoon flight to see the Korean southern coast bathed in golden light.
