Osaka Itami Airport Photography Spot Introduction Part 4: Sky Land Harada

Sky Land Harada is also a famous spotting location at Osaka Itami Airport. It is located outside the southeast corner of the airport, and the closest point is only about 100-200 meters from the Runway, allowing you to take many very distinctive photos. I made a special trip to run over and take a look this time.

Since it was my first time and I was unfamiliar with the place, I chose the bus for transportation. Get off at JR Itami Station, go to bus stop No. 6, take the Route 22 bus, get off at Higashiguchi Sakai, and then walk northeast for 3 minutes to arrive.

Looking at the schematic, this park is very large with many sports facilities, but for spotting planes, we just need to walk forward along the Runway, on the outside of the parking lot. The advantage of close-up shooting, absolutely no such good conditions in Tokyo, envious. It's a pity that the day was half cloudy, the light was not too powerful.

The Bombardier DHC-8-100 of Amakusa Airlines, introduced in Osaka Itami Airport Spotting Location Introduction Part 1: Senrigawa, has been retired, and the aircraft they use have also changed to ATR-42-600, Sky Land Harada Although the blue dolphin livery is not as cute as before, it is still easy to identify.

The weather was not good that day, and the heat haze at noon affected the details of the aircraft considerably, so although I took some photos, I won’t post them one by one. In the future, I will find a chance, such as going again in the afternoon, to see what better effects I can get.
