🌉

Akashi Kaikyo Bridge

🏙️

Kobe Skyline

The urban sprawl of Kobe city nestled tightly between the Rokko Mountains and the sea.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and get the best view of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge. During descent, look for the unique man-made island structure of KIX itself.
