Which side of the plane to sit from Chubu Centrair International Airport (Nagoya) to Matsuyama Airport (Matsuyama)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular aerial tour of the Seto Inland Sea's numerous islands, the dense urban landscape of the Kansai region, and the world's longest suspension bridges.
Osaka and Kobe Skyline
A sprawling view of the Hanshin industrial zone and the bustling ports along the northern edge of Osaka Bay.
Akashi Kaikyo Bridge
A stunning perspective of the world's longest suspension bridge connecting Honshu to Awaji Island.
Seto Inland Sea Islands
A bird's-eye view of the 'Aegean of the East,' including Shodoshima and the art islands like Naoshima.
Kurushima Kaikyo Bridges
As you approach Matsuyama, view the series of suspension bridges spanning the island-dotted straits near Imabari.
Seto Shipping Lanes
Watch large cargo ships and ferries navigating the narrow, picturesque channels between countless small islets.
The right side is the 'bridge watcher's side.' For the best experience, fly during the late afternoon when the sun sets over the Seto Inland Sea, creating a shimmering silver path on the water. Be sure to look out for the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge approximately 20 minutes after departure.
Ise-Shima National Park
Marvel at the intricate rias coastline and pearl rafts of Ago Bay shortly after takeoff from NGO.
Kii Mountain Range
View the dense, sacred forests and rugged peaks of the Kii Peninsula stretching toward the southern horizon.
Naruto Strait
Look for the bridge connecting Awaji Island to Shikoku, where the famous whirlpools form during tide changes.
Mount Ishizuchi
The highest peak in Western Japan often appears as a majestic silhouette as the plane nears Matsuyama.
Matsuyama Cityscape
A view of the city nestled between mountains and the sea, with the historic castle visible on its central hill.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun glare. This side is superior for viewing the dramatic mountainous interior of Shikoku and the sacred forests of the Kii Peninsula. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the unique coastal geography of Ise-Shima.
