Which side of the plane to sit from Amami Airport (Amami) to Tokyo Haneda International Airport (Tokyo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is the clear winner for this route, offering a spectacular sequence of Japan's most famous geographic landmarks, including active volcanoes in Kyushu and a premium view of Mount Fuji during the descent into Tokyo.
Amami-Oshima Coastline
Immediately after takeoff, witness the turquoise coral reefs and rugged green hills of the northern Amami islands.
Sakurajima
As the flight passes Kagoshima, look for the iconic smoking cone of Sakurajima volcano in the middle of the bay.
Shikoku Mountains
Aerial views of the deep valleys and ridges of the Tokushima and Kochi prefectural mountain ranges.
Nagoya and Ise Bay
The sprawling industrial landscape of central Japan and the massive port infrastructure of Nagoya.
Mount Fuji
The ultimate highlight; the plane passes south of the peak, providing a majestic view of Japan's tallest mountain.
Tokyo Skyline
During the final approach into Haneda, catch views of the Skytree, Tokyo Tower, and the Shinjuku skyscraper district.
Book a window seat on the left (A seat) for the most iconic views. Mount Fuji typically appears 20-30 minutes before landing. In winter, the clear skies provide the best visibility for the snow-capped peak. For evening flights, the city lights of the Kansai and Chubu regions are vibrant.
Pacific Blue
Vast expanses of the deep blue Kuroshio Current that flows along Japan's southern coast.
Tokara Islands
Isolated volcanic islets scattered across the sea between Amami and the mainland.
Cape Muroto
A sharp, dramatic headland on the southeastern tip of Shikoku island jutting into the ocean.
Izu Islands
Aerial perspectives of volcanic islands like Oshima and Toshima as the flight nears the Kanto region.
Boso Peninsula
The scenic coastline of Chiba Prefecture and its numerous golf courses and coastal towns.
Tokyo Bay Traffic
A bird's-eye view of the world's busiest shipping lanes and the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line bridge-tunnel.
The right side (K seat) is better for morning flights if you want to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. While it offers fewer mainland landmarks, it provides a peaceful view of the Izu island chain and is excellent for watching the complex shipping traffic entering Tokyo Bay during descent.
