Hatenohama Sandbars
A breathtaking 7km stretch of pure white sand surrounded by emerald waters, located just off the coast of Kume Island.
Tonaki Island
A small, picturesque island with traditional Okinawan houses and a circular coral reef perimeter.
Kerama Islands
Fly over the Kerama Shoto National Park, featuring the vibrant coral reefs of Zamami and Tokashiki islands.
Naha Port
A view of the bustling commercial harbor and the Naha city skyline as the aircraft lines up for landing.
The right side is essential for photographers wanting to capture the Hatenohama sandbars. Choose a window seat away from the wing for the best downward views of the coral reefs. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the 'Kerama Blue' water colors without harsh shadows.
