TAK → OKA
Which side of the plane to sit from Takamatsu Airport (Takamatsu) to Naha Airport (Okinawa)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Ryukyu island chain, the southern tip of Kyushu, and the vibrant turquoise coral reefs during the descent into Naha.
Seto Inland Sea
A mosaic of small islands and bridges visible immediately after departing from Takamatsu.
Osumi Peninsula
The southern tip of Kyushu, including Cape Sata, can often be seen in the distance to the west.
Amami Island Chain
Bird's-eye views of Tokunoshima and Okinoerabujima as the plane follows the island arc south.
Yoron Island
Spectacular circular coral reefs and shallow white sandbars surrounding this tiny tropical gem.
Northern Okinawa
Views of Cape Hedo and the lush Yanbaru forests as you begin the final approach into Naha.
The right side is essential for island spotting. Try to book a window seat away from the wing for the best view of the emerald coral reefs. On the descent into OKA, look for the Kerama Islands further west if the flight path approaches from the north.
Shikoku Mountains
Dramatic aerial views of the rugged Ishizuchi mountain range shortly after takeoff.
Tosa Bay
The sweeping arc of the Kochi coastline meeting the deep blue of the Pacific Ocean.
Pacific Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the Philippine Sea, particularly stunning during morning or evening flights.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. While mostly ocean-facing after Shikoku, the departure provides excellent views of the southern Shikoku coastline and the Muroto Peninsula in the distance.
