Mount Yufu & Beppu Bay
Immediately after takeoff, witness the dramatic twin peaks of Mount Yufu and the steam rising from Beppu's famous hot spring districts.
Tsushima Island
A clear view of this strategic island sitting in the middle of the Korea Strait, appearing as a lush, mountainous forest in the sea.
Dadohaehaesang Archipelago
The highlight of the trip featuring thousands of small, emerald islands scattered across the turquoise waters of the South Sea.
Yellow Sea Coastline
As the plane turns north toward Incheon, enjoy the intricate wetlands and mudflats of Korea's western coast.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare while capturing the South Korean archipelago. During late afternoon flights, this side offers a stunning sunset over the Yellow Sea as you descend into Incheon. Look for the distinct volcanic craters in Kyushu shortly after reaching cruising altitude.

Kanmon Strait
The narrow body of water separating Japan's main island, Honshu, from Kyushu, featuring the massive Kanmon Bridge.
Sobaek Mountain Range
The rugged interior 'spine' of the Korean Peninsula, often snow-capped in winter and deep green in summer.
Metropolitan Incheon
A sprawling view of the modern Incheon skyline and the massive industrial ports as the aircraft aligns for its final approach.
Incheon Bridge
On the final descent, look for one of the world's longest cable-stayed bridges connecting Songdo International City to the airport island.
The right side is excellent for viewing the geographic divide between Honshu and Kyushu. It is the 'cooler' side for afternoon flights as it faces away from the sun. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight for the architectural marvels of the Incheon Bridge and Songdo.
