KIX → MYJ
Which side of the plane to sit from Kansai International Airport (Osaka) to Matsuyama Airport (Matsuyama)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an extraordinary view of the Seto Inland Sea National Park, featuring world-famous bridges and hundreds of scenic islands.
Akashi Kaikyo Bridge
Immediately after takeoff, view the world's longest suspension bridge connecting Kobe to Awaji.
Seto Inland Sea
A stunning 'Mediterranean of the Orient' panorama with countless small islands and fishing boats.
Seto Ohashi Bridge
The massive series of double-decker bridges connecting Okayama and Sakaide.
Shimanami Kaido
The famous island-hopping cycling route and the Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge during the final descent.
Kobe Waterfront
A spectacular view of the Port of Kobe and Mount Rokko shortly after leaving KIX.
The right side is the definitive choice for this route. For the best experience, choose an afternoon flight to see the 'Golden Hour' reflection on the calm waters of the Inland Sea. Most landmarks appear in the first 20 minutes and the final 10 minutes of the flight.
Awaji Island
Aerial view of the southern tip of the island and the Naruto Strait area.
Sanuki Mountains
The green mountain range that forms the border between Kagawa and Tokushima prefectures.
Matsuyama City Center
As the plane descends, look for the historic Matsuyama Castle perched on a central hill.
Takamatsu City
Clear views of the urban landscape of Kagawa's capital along the coastline.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you and enjoy the deep greens of the Shikoku mountains. Keep an eye out for the Naruto Whirlpools near the bridge connecting Awaji to Shikoku, though they are weather and tide dependent.
