Which side of the plane to sit from Kobe Airport (Kobe) to Miho Yonago Airport (Miho)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a premier viewing experience, featuring the world-renowned Akashi Kaikyo Bridge immediately after takeoff and a close-up profile of Mount Daisen during the approach to Yonago.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🌉

Akashi Kaikyo Bridge

A stunning aerial view of the world's longest suspension bridge connecting Kobe to Awaji Island.

🏝️

Awaji Island

Observe the northern tip of the island and the swirling currents of the Naruto Strait in the distance.

🏔️

Mount Daisen

Known as the 'Mount Fuji of Western Japan,' this massive volcanic peak dominates the landscape during descent.

🌊

Nakaumi Lagoon

A large brackish lagoon with unique patterns of reclaimed land visible just before landing.

Sit on the left for the most iconic landmarks. Early morning flights provide the best lighting for Mount Daisen, as the sun illuminates its eastern and northern faces. In winter, the snow-covered peak is a must-see. Watch for the bridge within the first 5 minutes of takeoff.

Right Side Highlights
7.6
🏙️

Kobe Waterfront

A sweeping view of the Meriken Park area, Kobe Port Tower, and the dense urban core of Kobe city.

🌲

Mount Rokko Range

The lush green mountain backdrop that provides the dramatic setting for the city of Kobe.

🏖️

Yumigahama Peninsula

A striking, bow-shaped sandy spit that curves between the Sea of Japan and the Miho Bay.

🚤

Sakai-Minato Port

The busy fishing port and urban area of Sakaiminato visible during the final turn into the airport.

The right side is excellent for urban enthusiasts. You will get a fantastic perspective of how Kobe is squeezed between the mountains and the sea. During the final approach, look for the unique white sands and green pines of the Yumigahama coastline.
