OKA → TAK
Which side of the plane to sit from Naha Airport (Okinawa) to Takamatsu Airport (Takamatsu)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is significantly more scenic as it provides a front-row seat to the active Sakurajima volcano and the beautiful coastline of Kyushu before descending into the island-studded Seto Inland Sea.

Sakurajima
The highlight of the route; an active volcano puffing smoke over the waters of Kinko Bay in Kagoshima.
Nichinan Coast
Dramatic views of Miyazaki's coastline, famous for its unique rock formations and palm-lined shores.
Mount Ishizuchi
The highest peak in Western Japan can often be seen rising above the clouds in the Shikoku mountain range.
Seto Inland Sea
A stunning aerial mosaic of tiny, lush islands and fishing boats as the plane prepares for its landing at Takamatsu.
Yashima Plateau
A distinctive flat-topped lava plateau near Takamatsu city that served as a historic battlefield.
For the best views of Sakurajima, which usually appears about 40 minutes after takeoff, sit on the right. Mid-day flights provide the best light for the deep greens of the Shikoku mountains and the blues of the Seto Inland Sea. Be ready with your camera as the plane turns for its final approach over the Kagawa coastline.

Kerama Islands
A cluster of small islands with world-renowned 'Kerama Blue' water visible shortly after takeoff from Naha.
Yoron Island
Look down to see the incredible white sandbars and coral rings of the southernmost tip of the Amami archipelago.
Cape Ashizuri
The southernmost point of Shikoku island, where rugged cliffs meet the deep blue of the Pacific Ocean.
Shikoku Range
View the dense, forested ridges of the Shikoku mountains as the aircraft crosses the island's interior.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun on the opposite side, ensuring clear, glare-free views of the Ryukyu chain. This side is also excellent for sunset views on the final approach during late afternoon winter flights.
