Which side of the plane to sit from Asahikawa Airport (Asahikawa) to Chubu Centrair International Airport (Nagoya)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Northern Japan Alps and the rugged coastline of the Sea of Japan, providing more consistent and varied geographic highlights throughout the flight.

Lake Toya
Look for the nearly circular lake with a large central island while departing the Hokkaido region.
Tsugaru Strait
The maritime boundary between Japan's two largest islands, offering views of the Seikan Tunnel area.
Shirakami-Sanchi
The UNESCO World Heritage site featuring the last virgin forest of Siebold's beech in East Asia.
Northern Japan Alps
Dramatic views of the Hida Mountains, including the jagged 'Spear Peak' of Mount Yarigatake and Mount Hotaka.
Ise Bay
The final approach provides a panoramic view of the industrial ports and the unique artificial island where the airport is built.
The right side is ideal for sunset views on late afternoon flights. Pay close attention approximately 20-30 minutes before landing, as the flight path usually passes directly alongside the spectacular peaks of the Northern Japan Alps, which are the highlight of this route.

Immediately after takeoff, view Hokkaido's highest peaks, often covered in snow well into the summer months.
Lake Towada
A stunning blue caldera lake located on the border of Aomori and Akita prefectures, visible as the flight traverses northern Honshu.
Mount Fuji (Distance)
On clear days during the descent toward Nagoya, the iconic silhouette of Mount Fuji can be spotted far to the southeast.
Nagoya Metropolis
Dense urban views of Nagoya city and the surrounding Aichi plain as the aircraft turns to align with the Centrair runway.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is also better for spotting the Pacific coastline in the distance if the flight path stays inland. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for a possible distant view of Mount Fuji.
