Which side of the plane to sit from Aomori Airport (Aomori) to Tokyo Haneda International Airport (Tokyo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a dramatic sequence of Japan's volcanic spine, featuring iconic peaks, crater lakes, and a potential sighting of Mount Fuji during the approach to Tokyo.
Hakkoda Mountains
A majestic range of dormant volcanoes visible shortly after takeoff from Aomori.
Lake Towada
A deep blue caldera lake that stands out vividly against the green or snowy mountain terrain.
Mount Iwate
The highest peak in Iwate prefecture, known for its symmetrical volcanic cone.
Mount Bandai
The iconic peak in Fukushima, showing the unique landscape formed by its historical eruptions.
Mount Fuji
Visible in the distance to the southwest during the final descent into the Tokyo area.
The right side is superior for mountain lovers. In winter, the snow-covered Ou Mountains are breathtaking. For the best view of Mount Fuji, look toward the southwest as the plane begins its descent over Ibaraki or Chiba. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the western mountain ranges.
Mutsu Bay
Aerial view of the scallop-rich waters surrounding Aomori immediately after departure.
Sanriku Coast
Distal views of the rugged Pacific coastline and the rias of the eastern Tohoku region.
Sendai City
The sprawling urban center of the Tohoku region, visible as a dense grid near the coast.
Tokyo Bay
Panoramic views of the Aqua-Line bridge and massive container ships queuing for the port.
Sit on the left if you prefer coastal aesthetics and want to see the urbanization of the Kanto Plain. During morning flights, the lighting on the Pacific Ocean creates a beautiful silver shimmer, but be prepared for some glare.
