Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Osaka to Toronto. The takeoff on the right side delivers the most concentrated visual payoff of the flight — Osaka Bay, Kobe, the Rokko Mountains, and the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge all in the first 15 minutes. The landing left-side view of Toronto is excellent but shorter in duration. Right side wins on total scenic value across the flight.

During takeoff from Kansai International (KIX), sit on the Right side for the best views. KIX sits on an artificial island in Osaka Bay. Departures on runway 06R head northeast, putting the right side facing Osaka city, the Rokko Mountains behind Kobe, and the Kii Peninsula coastline. Left side faces open water and the Awaji Island ferry routes but less dramatic terrain. Notable sights include: Osaka city grid and Umeda skyline, Kobe port and Rokko Mountains, Osaka Bay artificial island structure of KIX itself, Akashi Kaikyo Bridge connecting Awaji Island.

When landing at Lester B Pearson International (YYZ), sit on the Left side for the best views. YYZ arrivals on runway 23 approach from the northeast over Lake Simcoe and the Oak Ridges Moraine. Left side seats face south toward downtown Toronto, Lake Ontario, and the CN Tower clearly visible on approach. Right side faces suburban sprawl north of the airport with little of interest. Notable sights include: CN Tower and downtown Toronto skyline, Lake Ontario shoreline, Toronto Islands, Lake Simcoe to the north on initial descent.

The flight from Kansai International (KIX) to Lester B Pearson International (YYZ) takes Approximately 13 to 14 hours.

The great circle route from KIX to YYZ tracks northeast over the Sea of Japan, crosses Hokkaido and the Kuril Islands, then arcs across the North Pacific over the Aleutian Island chain. The route passes south of the Kamchatka Peninsula and crosses the Gulf of Alaska before entering Canadian airspace over British Columbia, crossing the Canadian Rockies and the prairies of Alberta and Saskatchewan, then descending over the Great Lakes region into Toronto. Most of the flight is over open ocean or remote subarctic terrain with limited ground visibility.
