🚢

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.
