Which side of the plane to sit from Gimhae International Airport (Busan) to Chubu Centrair International Airport (Nagoya)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the Seto Inland Sea, featuring thousands of tiny islands and the massive bridges connecting Honshu to Shikoku, followed by a scenic approach over Ise Bay.
Busan Port
A bird's-eye view of one of the world's busiest container ports and the Diamond Bridge right after departure.
Tsushima Island
The mountainous Japanese island sitting halfway between the two countries, surrounded by deep blue waters.
Seto Inland Sea
The highlight of the trip, featuring a maze of islands and the impressive Great Seto Bridge complex.
Osaka and Kobe
The massive urban sprawl of the Kansai region and the artificial islands of Osaka Bay during transit.
Ise Bay
A scenic descent over the bay, providing views of the Kii Peninsula and the Nagoya industrial coastline.
Choose a window seat on the right for the best coastal views. During sunset flights, this side experiences beautiful golden hour light reflecting off the Seto Inland Sea. Look for the distinct artificial islands of Kansai Airport and Kobe Airport as you pass the Osaka area.
Gyeongsang Coastline
Dramatic views of the jagged South Korean coastline and the many inlets around Busan immediately after takeoff.
Chugoku Mountains
The dense, forested mountain ranges of western Honshu extending toward the Sea of Japan.
Lake Biwa
Japan's largest freshwater lake is often visible to the north during the mid-flight cruise phase.
Japan Alps
The snow-capped peaks of the Hida and Kiso mountain ranges appearing during the descent into the Chubu region.
Mount Fuji
On very clear days, the iconic cone of Fuji-san can be spotted in the far distance during the final approach.
Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the distant Japan Alps isn't obstructed. Morning flights are best as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the mountains of Honshu perfectly without glare.
