Our Recommendation
9.2

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.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🏝️

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.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🌊

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.
