Which side of the plane to sit from Asahikawa Airport (Asahikawa) to Tokyo Haneda International Airport (Tokyo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the best chance to view Mount Fuji during the descent into Tokyo, along with the rugged volcanic peaks of the Tohoku region.
Daisetsuzan National Park
The 'Roof of Hokkaido' with volcanic peaks visible immediately after departure from Asahikawa.
Mount Iwate
A massive stratovolcano known as the 'Nambu Fuji' due to its symmetrical cone shape.
Lake Towada
A stunning blue caldera lake nestled within the mountains of the Aomori-Akita border.
Mount Fuji
On clear days, the iconic snow-capped peak appears to the west during the descent into the Kanto region.
West Tokyo Skyline
Views of the Shinjuku skyscrapers and the sprawling Tokyo metropolis as the plane banks toward Haneda.
The right side is the 'Fuji side' for this route. For the clearest views of the mountains, choose a flight departing between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM when the sun is overhead. In winter, visibility is significantly higher, making the snow-capped Japanese Alps visible in the distance.
Sanriku Coastline
The dramatic rias coastline featuring sharp cliffs and deep inlets along the Pacific Ocean.
Matsushima Bay
Recognized as one of Japan's three most scenic views, featuring hundreds of small pine-clad islands.
Sendai City
A clear view of the 'City of Trees,' the largest urban center in the Tohoku region.
Kujukuri Beach
The vast, curving sandy arc of Chiba's coastline visible during the approach to Haneda.
Tokyo Bay Ports
Views of industrial shipping hubs and massive cargo vessels entering the world's busiest bay.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to catch the sunrise over the Pacific. During the final approach to Haneda (Runway 34L), you may get a direct view of the Umi-hotaru parking area in the middle of Tokyo Bay.
