Mount Iwaki
Known as 'Tsugaru Fuji' for its perfect conical shape, visible right after takeoff.
Sea of Japan Coast
Stunning views of the rugged coastline stretching along the Akita and Yamagata prefectures.
Mount Chokai
A massive, symmetric stratovolcano that appears to rise directly from the sea.
Tateyama Peaks
Spectacular views of the Northern Japanese Alps, often snow-capped well into the summer.
Inuyama Castle
One of Japan's oldest original castles, visible on its hilltop perch during the final approach.
The right side is the clear winner for landscape photography. Mount Chokai is a major highlight about 20 minutes into the flight. On the descent into NKM, keep your eyes peeled for Inuyama Castle on the banks of the Kiso River. Winter and early spring offer the most dramatic views of the snow-covered Alps.

Nagoya Skyline
Views of the dense urban landscape and skyscrapers of central Nagoya as you approach Komaki.
Sit on the left if you want a chance to see Lake Towada and the inland mountain ranges of the Tohoku region. Morning flights are ideal for these views as the sun illuminates the eastern slopes without creating harsh shadows.
