Stunning aerial views of Okinawa and the surrounding coral reefs approximately 45-60 minutes into the flight.
Amami Oshima
The lush, hilly landscapes of the Amami islands surrounded by the deep blue waters of the Philippine Sea.
Kii Peninsula
The dramatic, jagged coastline of Japan's largest peninsula, home to dense ancient forests and sacred mountains.
Ise-Shima Coast
The intricate bays and pearl-farming rafts of the Ise-Shima National Park area near the end of the journey.
Centrair Island
An impressive view of the man-made island airport as the plane aligns for touchdown over Ise Bay.
The right side is ideal for photographers looking for island and coastal scenery. Look down for the vibrant emerald waters of the Okinawa chain midway through the flight. During the final 20 minutes, the plane tracks along the Kii Peninsula, providing excellent views of the rugged coastline. Afternoon flights offer the most dramatic lighting for these features.

Taipei Skyline
Immediate views of Taipei 101 and the Keelung River valley shortly after departing from Taoyuan.
Shikoku Mountains
High-altitude views of the rugged, forested interior peaks of Shikoku Island to the north.
Southern Japanese Alps
On clear days, the towering snow-capped peaks of the Akaishi Mountains are visible in the distance during descent.
Nagoya Port
One of Japan's busiest industrial hubs and container terminals visible as the plane enters the Ise Bay circuit.
Choose the left side for morning departures to avoid direct sun glare. It is the better side for spotting the high mountain ranges of mainland Japan in the distance during the second half of the flight. Keep an eye out for the dense urban sprawl of the Chukyo metropolitan area during the final approach.
