Kerama Islands
Spectacular views of Tokashiki and Zamami islands, renowned for their incredible water clarity and protected marine parks.
Miyako Blue
The dramatic and sudden transition from the deep ocean blue to the neon turquoise shallows surrounding the Miyako archipelago.
Irabu Bridge
The longest toll-free bridge in Japan, stretching 3,540 meters over pristine coral reefs, is visible during the landing pattern.
Shimojishima 17 End
Spot the famous turquoise runway approach of the neighboring Shimojishima Airport just before touchdown.
This side is essential for seeing the most famous landmarks. Keep your camera ready roughly 10-15 minutes after takeoff for the Kerama Islands. For the best color saturation in the water, choose a flight between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM when the sun is high and illuminates the reefs from above.

Southern Okinawa Coast
Aerial views of the southern tip of Okinawa main island, including the rugged limestone cliffs and white sand beaches.
Pacific Confluence
The deep indigo expanse where the East China Sea meets the Philippine Sea.
Miyako Eastern Reefs
Intricate coral formations and emerald lagoons visible along the eastern coast of Miyako during the final approach.
Sit toward the back of the aircraft to ensure the wing doesn't block your view of the coral reefs during the final 5 minutes of the flight. Morning flights are ideal for this side to keep the sun behind you for clearer photography of the Okinawan coastline.
