Which side of the plane to sit from Shanghai Pudong International Airport (Shanghai) to Okayama Airport (Okayama)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an unparalleled panorama of the Seto Inland Sea's numerous islands and the engineering feat of the Seto Ohashi Bridge during the final descent into Okayama.
Hangzhou Bay Bridge
One of the longest trans-oceanic bridges in the world is frequently visible south of the departure path.
Unzen Volcanic Group
View the dramatic volcanic peaks and geothermal landscapes of the Shimabara Peninsula in western Kyushu.
Amakusa Islands
A stunning collection of islands characterized by rugged coastlines and deep blue waters in the Ariake Sea.
Seto Inland Sea
The Mediterranean of Japan, featuring thousands of tiny islands dotting the water between Honshu and Shikoku.
Seto Ohashi Bridge
The massive bridge system connecting Okayama to Kagawa, visible just before the aircraft turns for its final approach.
This is the premier side for this route. For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the Seto Inland Sea. During autumn, the visibility is often highest, allowing for clear views of the Shikoku mountain range in the distance.
Yangtze River Estuary
Observe the massive sediment discharge from the Yangtze River meeting the East China Sea shortly after takeoff.
Tsushima Strait
A glimpse of the strategic waterway and shipping lanes located between the Korean Peninsula and Kyushu.
Mount Daisen
Known as the Fuji of Hoki, this prominent volcanic peak is visible to the north when crossing the Chugoku region.
Lake Shinji
The sparkling waters of Japan's seventh-largest lake near Matsue are often visible on the northern horizon.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. It offers a clearer view of the mountainous San'in coastline if the flight path takes a more northerly route over the Sea of Japan.
