Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Japanese archipelago, including the volcanic landscapes of Kyushu and the iconic, island-studded waters of the Seto Inland Sea during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Goto Islands

A stunning archipelago off the coast of Nagasaki, featuring turquoise waters and rugged, emerald-green hills.

🌋

Mount Unzen

A dramatic view of the active volcanic complex on the Shimabara Peninsula, known for its jagged peaks and historical eruptions.

🏗️

Great Seto Bridge

A spectacular aerial perspective of the massive bridge system that connects the islands of Kojima and Sakaide across the sea.

⛰️

Mount Ishizuchi

The sharp, towering peaks of the Ishizuchi Range, the highest mountains in Western Japan, visible on the Shikoku mainland.

🚤

Setouchi Archipelago

An endless tapestry of small islands and oyster farms scattered across the Seto Inland Sea during the final approach to Takamatsu.

Sit on the right side for morning flights to have the best lighting on the islands. This side provides the most direct view of the Great Seto Bridge, which is a key landmark just before landing at Takamatsu.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🌊

Yangtze River Delta

The massive scale of the Yangtze River meeting the East China Sea, marked by a distinct line between silty river water and deep ocean blue.

🏙️

Hiroshima Skyline

Distant views of Hiroshima city and the northern bays of the Seto Inland Sea as the aircraft tracks eastward along the Honshu coastline.

⛰️

Chugoku Mountains

The forested ridges and deep valleys of the Chugoku region of western Honshu visible to the north during the cruise phase.

🌉

Shimanami Kaido

A series of impressive bridges linking several islands in the northern part of the Seto Inland Sea, visible during the final descent.

The left side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. During winter, look north to potentially see snow-capped peaks in the Chugoku region of Honshu.
