Which side of the plane to sit from Naha Airport (Okinawa) to Nagasaki Airport (Nagasaki)?

Yanbaru Forest
The dense subtropical greenery of northern Okinawa Island visible during the initial climb.
Amami Archipelago
A string of emerald islands including Yoron and Tokunoshima appearing like jewels in the sea.
Mt. Kaimon
The iconic 'Satsuma Fuji' volcano standing prominently at the southern entrance to Kyushu.
Mt. Unzen
The massive volcanic complex of Shimabara Peninsula, featuring rugged peaks and geothermal activity.
Omura Bay
A low-altitude sweep over the calm waters of the bay just before touchdown at the island airport.
The right side is the definitive choice for volcano enthusiasts. Sit here to see the iconic Mt. Kaimon and the peaks of Mt. Unzen. For the best photography of the islands, a mid-day flight offers the best vertical light to highlight the coral reefs. During winter, look for snow caps on the higher Kyushu mountains as you approach Nagasaki.

Stunning aerial views of the turquoise coral reefs and white sand beaches shortly after takeoff.
East China Sea
Vast oceanic expanses that offer beautiful light reflections and cloud formations during the cruise.
Koshikijima Islands
Rugged island landscapes and steep cliffs visible off the western coast of Kagoshima Prefecture.
Nagasaki Port
Views of the deep-water harbor and the urban sprawl of Nagasaki city tucked between steep hills.
Choose the left side for morning departures to avoid the harshest sun glare. This side is particularly rewarding during the first 15 minutes of flight for views of the Kerama Islands national park. Keep your camera ready during the final descent for a glimpse of the historic Nagasaki Port area if the flight path approaches from the south.
