Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior vantage point for the iconic Kansai coastline, the rugged Kii Peninsula, and the volcanic island chains of Izu and Ogasawara stretching deep into the Pacific.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏯

Himeji and Kobe Coast

Aerial views of the urban sprawl and industrial ports of the Kansai region shortly after takeoff.

🌉

Akashi Kaikyo Bridge

The world's longest suspension bridge connecting Honshu to Awaji Island is often visible to the east.

🌲

Kii Peninsula

Dense, mountainous forests and the jagged coastline of Wakayama Prefecture as the plane heads south.

🌋

Izu and Ogasawara Islands

A string of remote volcanic islands, including the unique double-caldera of Aogashima.

🏝️

Northern Guam Cliffs

The dramatic limestone cliffs of Ritidian Point as the aircraft begins its descent into GUM.

Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side provides the best chance to see the volcanic peaks of the Ogasawara chain. Ensure you have your camera ready within the first 20 minutes for the Japanese coastline.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🏝️

Seto Inland Sea

A stunning mosaic of thousands of small islands nestled between Honshu and Shikoku.

⛰️

Shikoku Mountains

High-altitude views of the Ishizuchi mountain range and the southern coast of Shikoku.

🌋

Volcano Islands

Distant views of Iwo Jima (Sulfur Island) and the active volcanic activity in the Mariana Arc.

🌊

The Philippine Sea

Expansive views of the deep indigo waters where the Philippine and Pacific tectonic plates meet.

🏖️

Tumon Bay

The vibrant turquoise coral reefs and white sands of Guam's main tourist district during final approach.

The right side is ideal for afternoon or sunset flights, offering a golden hour view of the Philippine Sea. During departure, look for the Great Seto Bridge connecting Okayama to Shikoku. This side is better for seeing the shallow reefs of Guam upon landing.
