Which side of the plane to sit from Matsuyama Airport (Matsuyama) to Chubu Centrair International Airport (Nagoya)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the picturesque Seto Inland Sea islands and the dense urban sprawl of the Kansai region as you approach Nagoya.
Matsuyama Castle
A bird's-eye view of the historic hilltop fortress and the surrounding city immediately after takeoff.
Shimanami Kaido
The impressive series of bridges connecting Shikoku to Honshu over the dotted islands of the Seto Inland Sea.
Seto Inland Sea
Countless small, forested islands creating a unique 'maritime garden' aesthetic throughout the first half of the flight.
Kobe & Osaka Skyline
A distant but clear view of the massive urban corridor and port facilities along Osaka Bay.
Suzuka Mountains
The rugged mountain range that separates the Kansai and Tokai regions during the initial descent.
Book an early morning flight to have the sun behind you, which perfectly illuminates the turquoise waters and emerald islands of the Seto Inland Sea. During the descent into NGO, look for the Nagashima Spa Land resort and its massive rollercoasters near the shoreline.
Mount Ishizuchi
The highest peak in Western Japan, often capped with snow in winter, visible shortly after departure.
Cape Muroto
The sharp, dramatic southern tip of Shikoku Island jutting into the Pacific Ocean.
Kii Peninsula
The vast, densely forested mountain ranges of Wakayama and Mie, home to the sacred Kumano Kodo trails.
Ise-Shima Coastline
The intricate rias coastline of Ago Bay, famous for its pearl cultivation rafts and jagged inlets.
Ise Bay
Busy maritime traffic and large cargo ships entering the industrial heart of central Japan before landing.
The right side is ideal for seeing the wilder, mountainous geography of Japan. In autumn, the Kii Peninsula displays vibrant fall colors. Keep your camera ready as you cross the coastline near Ise-Shima for detailed views of the oyster and pearl rafts.
