Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Ryukyu island chain during the cruise and the stunning Nichinan coastline during the final descent into Miyazaki.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⚓

Keelung Harbor

View Taiwan's northernmost major port and the rugged, indented coastline of the New Taipei area.

🏝️

Ryukyu Islands

Spot the turquoise coral reefs and emerald islands of the Okinawa chain dotting the Pacific far below.

🏖️

Nichinan Coast

Dramatic coastal scenery featuring the iconic 'Devil's Washboard' geological formations near Aoshima Island.

🌅

Miyazaki Bay

Panoramic views of wide sandy beaches and the shimmering Pacific as the plane aligns for its final landing.

The right side is the highlight of this route, particularly during the approach to KMI. For the best experience, look out roughly 40-50 minutes after takeoff for the Ryukyu island chain. During the final 10 minutes, the Nichinan coastline offers some of Japan's most unique geological coastal views.

Left Side Highlights
7.0
🏙️

Taipei Basin

Glimpse the dense urban sprawl and Taipei 101 shortly after takeoff from Taoyuan if the departure path heads north.

⛰️

Yangmingshan Peaks

Aerial perspective of the dormant volcanic domes and lush greenery of northern Taiwan's premier national park.

🌊

East China Sea

Vast stretches of deep blue ocean as the flight crosses the waters separating Taiwan and the Japanese islands.

🏔️

Kyushu Interior

Rugged mountainous terrain and deep green valleys of central Kyushu visible during the initial stages of descent.

Choose the left side for morning departures to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side is ideal for observing the mountainous spine of the Kyushu region as you descend. Watch for the northern coastline of Taiwan within the first 15 minutes of the flight.
