Dramatic views of the Oita and Kumamoto regions, including the massive Aso Caldera and steaming geothermal vents.

The intricate rias coastline of western Kyushu and the scattered emerald islands in the East China Sea.
Taipei Port
The industrial docks and the mouth of the Tamsui River as the aircraft lines up for the runway at TPE.
The right side is the 'volcano side.' Keep your camera ready about 30-45 minutes after departure for the best views of Kyushu's active peaks.

Seto Ohashi Bridge
A breathtaking view of the massive bridge network connecting Okayama and Shikoku across the island-dotted sea.
Mount Ishizuchi
The highest peak in Western Japan, often visible as part of the rugged Shikoku mountain range.
Cape Ashizuri
The southernmost tip of Shikoku island, marking the transition from coastal waters to the deep Pacific.
Pacific Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue ocean where the Kuroshio Current flows towards the Japanese archipelago.
Yangmingshan National Park
Lush volcanic mountains and green valleys of northern Taiwan visible during the final descent into Taoyuan.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. Watch for the Seto Ohashi Bridge immediately after takeoff from OKJ. This side is particularly scenic during the late descent into Taiwan when the green peaks of the north coast appear. Winter provides the clearest visibility for the Shikoku mountains.
