Which side of the plane to sit from Nagasaki Airport (Nagasaki) to Chubu Centrair International Airport (Nagoya)?
Left Side of the Plane
Offers a stunning panoramic view of the Seto Inland Sea, including its countless islands and the industrial coastline of Honshu, culminating in a clear approach over Ise Bay.
Omura Bay
Immediate view of the airport island and the enclosed bay surrounding Nagasaki Airport.
Seto Inland Sea
A breathtaking sequence of hundreds of small islands between Kyushu and Honshu.
Great Seto Bridge
The massive series of double-decker bridges connecting Okayama and Kagawa prefectures.
Hiroshima & Miyajima
Distant views of Hiroshima city and the sacred island of Itsukushima on the coastline.
Osaka & Kobe
On clear days, the sprawling Kansai metropolitan area and the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge are visible to the north.
Suzuka Circuit
As the plane descends into Nagoya, the famous Formula 1 track can often be spotted near the coast.
Morning flights are ideal for the left side to keep the sun behind you, providing the best lighting for photography of the Inland Sea islands. Watch for the 'Shimanami Kaido' bridge network, which looks like a silver thread connecting islands between Hiroshima and Ehime.
Mount Unzen
Visible shortly after takeoff, this active volcanic group dominates the Shimabara Peninsula.
Mount Aso
One of the largest calderas in the world, often visible with steam rising from its central crater.
Mount Ishizuchi
The highest peak in Western Japan, located in the rugged mountain range of central Shikoku.
Kii Peninsula
Deep, forested mountain ridges and the sacred coastal areas of the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage routes.
Ise Grand Shrine Area
The densely forested area surrounding Japan's most sacred Shinto shrine near the mouth of Ise Bay.
Choose the right side for sunset flights to witness the light reflecting off the Pacific Ocean and the silhouettes of Shikoku's peaks. This side is superior for mountain enthusiasts wanting to see Kyushu's and Shikoku's most famous volcanic and alpine geography.
