Seto Inland Sea
A stunning mosaic of hundreds of small, lush islands scattered across the calm waters of the sea.
Kyushu Volcanoes
In clear weather, the distant peaks of the Kirishima or Sakurajima volcanic ranges may be visible.
Amami Islands
A chain of tropical islands including Amami Oshima, known for their vibrant coral reefs and white sands.
Kerama Islands
Breathtaking views of the 'Kerama Blue' waters, some of the clearest turquoise sea in the world.
Naha Port
The bustling maritime gateway of Okinawa, filled with ferries and ships as you descend.
This is the preferred side for tropical scenery. Aim for a midday flight to maximize the sunlight penetration into the shallow coral reefs, which makes the turquoise colors significantly more vibrant. During the descent into OKA, the Kerama Islands are often clearly visible to the west, providing a world-class aerial view.

The dramatic meeting point of the deep blue Pacific Ocean and the rocky southern shores of Japan.
Cape Hedo
The northernmost point of Okinawa Island, featuring steep limestone cliffs and crashing waves.
Choose this side for views of the sunrise on early morning flights. While mostly over the Pacific, you will get a great look at the eastern coastline of Okinawa's main island as the plane turns for its final approach to Naha.
