Sakurajima
Distant but clear views of the smoking volcanic peak in Kagoshima Bay during the mid-flight transition.
Yakushima
The towering, cloud-shrouded peaks of this UNESCO World Heritage site rise dramatically from the sea.
Amami Oshima
Exceptional views of the winding coastlines and dense subtropical forests of the Amami region.
Miyako Blue
Unrivaled views of the turquoise coral lagoons and the long bridges connecting the Miyako island group.
Mount Omoto
As you approach Ishigaki for landing, see the highest peak in Okinawa Prefecture dominating the island's center.
This is the prime side for sunset lovers on afternoon flights. As the plane descends into ISG, the right side typically offers the best view of the Kabira Bay area and the northern coral reefs. Keep your camera ready as you pass Yakushima for spectacular mountain photography.

Shima Peninsula
Witness the intricate ria coastline of Mie Prefecture, famous for its pearl cultivation rafts and deep inlets.
Tanegashima
On a clear day, you can spot the Japanese Space Center's launch pads on the southern tip of this long, flat island.
Naha Coastline
Views of the bustling capital of Okinawa and the southern reefs as you transit toward the Yaeyama Islands.
Kerama Islands
A stunning cluster of emerald islands surrounded by 'Kerama Blue' waters, visible shortly after passing Okinawa.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. This side is better for seeing the sprawling urban landscape of Naha and the complex coastal formations of the Shima Peninsula shortly after takeoff from NGO.
