Search flights from OKA to MYJ
Amami Oshima
Large subtropical island known for its dense forests and turquoise coastal fringes.
Yakushima
The dramatic, cloud-capped peaks of Miyanoura-dake, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Sakurajima
The iconic smoking volcano of Kagoshima Bay, visible as you fly north toward Shikoku.
Nichinan Coast
Miyazaki's rugged shoreline featuring the famous 'Devil's Washboard' geological formations.
Sada Cape
The exceptionally narrow and long peninsula that marks the entrance to the Seto Inland Sea.
Book the right side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you and illuminate the islands perfectly. Keep your eyes peeled roughly 40-50 minutes into the flight for the circular, mountainous profile of Yakushima. The view of Sada Cape (Sadamisaki) is a definitive landmark indicating you have reached Shikoku.

Kume & Aguni Islands
Emerald lagoons and coral formations visible shortly after departure from Naha.
Mount Unzen
Distal views of the active volcanic peaks in Nagasaki across the East China Sea.
Uwa Sea Coastline
Intricate saw-toothed 'ria' coastline of southern Ehime during the descent.
Bungo Channel
The busy shipping lane between Kyushu and Shikoku, often filled with ferries and tankers.
The left side is superior for sunset flights as the sun dips into the East China Sea. During the final approach to Matsuyama, look for the complex island geography of the Uwa region. Winter flights often offer clearer visibility for seeing the distant Kyushu mountains across the water.
