Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers a superior perspective of the Seto Inland Sea's numerous islands and the majestic volcanic landscapes of central Kyushu, including the active Mount Aso caldera.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Seto Inland Sea

A breathtaking panoramic view of the 'thousand islands' and the iconic bridges connecting Honshu and Shikoku.

🌋

Mount Aso

Spot the massive caldera and rising steam plumes of one of the world's largest active volcanoes in central Kyushu.

🚢

Omura Bay

As the plane descends, enjoy a close-up view of the calm, landlocked bay that surrounds Nagasaki Airport.

🌉

Seto Ohashi Bridge

A clear view of the massive bridge complex linking Okayama and Kagawa prefectures across the sea.

The right side is essential for seeing Mount Aso; keep your camera ready about 40-45 minutes into the flight. For the best photography of the Seto Inland Sea islands, midday flights provide the most vibrant turquoise water colors.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Ise-Shima National Park

View the intricate rias coastline and pearl rafts of the Shima Peninsula shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Kii Mountain Range

The rugged, sacred peaks of the Kumano region are visible to the south during the first third of the flight.

🏞️

Southern Shikoku Coast

Look down upon the dramatic cliffs and remote beaches of Kochi Prefecture as the flight traverses the island.

🏙️

Nagasaki City South

On the final approach, the southern outskirts of Nagasaki and the rocky coastline of the Nomozaki Peninsula may appear.

Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy front-lit views of the Kii Mountains. It is also the better side for viewing the expansive Pacific Ocean horizon during the mid-segment of the journey.
