The most iconic view of the flight, appearing on the right approximately 15 to 20 minutes after departure.
Southern Alps
A dramatic view of the snow-capped Akaishi Mountains and the rugged central mountain spine of Japan.
Kyoto and Kobe
The grid layout of the ancient capital and the scenic harbor of Kobe along the northern coastline.
Akashi Kaikyo Bridge
The world's second-longest suspension bridge connecting Honshu to Awaji Island over the Seto Inland Sea.
Matsuyama Castle
As the plane approaches the runway, look for the historic hilltop fortress overlooking the city center.
The right side is the best choice for this route primarily for Mount Fuji. Morning flights are highly recommended as the mountain is often shrouded in clouds by midday. During the final approach, the right side offers the best views of the Shimanami Kaido bridge network.
