Sanuki Plain
The unique flat-topped plateaus and volcanic cones surrounding Takamatsu city.
Sakurajima
One of Japan's most active volcanoes, often seen venting ash in the distance over Kyushu.
Ryukyu Archipelago
Views of tropical islands like Amami Oshima or the kerama islands scattered in the East China Sea.
Taipei Skyline
A sweeping view of the dense Taipei metropolis and the Tamsui River during landing.
Yangmingshan National Park

The right side is superior for landmarks. Keep your camera ready about 40 minutes after takeoff to spot the volcanic activity of Kyushu. For evening flights, the sunset over the East China Sea is visible from this side. During landing at Taoyuan, the right side usually offers the best perspective of the city's urban sprawl and the iconic Tamsui River.

Mount Ishizuchi
The highest peak in Western Japan, visible as the flight traverses the Shikoku mountain range.
Uwa Sea Coastline
The rugged, deeply indented ria coast of southwestern Shikoku meeting the Pacific.
Northern Taiwan Coast
Dramatic cliffs and rock formations of the Yeliu and North Coast areas during descent.
Sit on the left to capture the mountainous interior of Shikoku. In winter, Mount Ishizuchi is often snow-capped, providing excellent photography opportunities. During the final approach into TPE, this side offers views of the rugged coastline of northern Taiwan if the flight path follows the typical northeastern entry.
