Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most iconic views of Japan, most notably a spectacular perspective of Mount Fuji during the descent into the Kanto region.

Ou Mountain Range
The 'backbone' of Northern Japan, featuring snow-capped peaks and deep valleys in winter.
Lake Inawashiro
One of Japan's largest lakes, located in Fukushima, appearing as a deep blue mirror mid-flight.
Mount Fuji
The absolute highlight; the snow-capped volcano appears majestically on the right as the plane nears Tokyo.
Yokohama Skyline
Views of the Landmark Tower and the Minato Mirai waterfront district during the final approach.
Tokyo Disney Resort
Visible just before touchdown if the flight uses the standard northern approach routes into Haneda.
The right side is the clear winner for the iconic Mount Fuji view, which usually appears about 15-20 minutes before landing. For the best clarity, choose morning flights when the air is crisp and Fuji is less likely to be obscured by afternoon clouds. During winter, the snow cover on the mountains is breathtaking.

Sea of Japan Coast
Dramatic views of the Akita coastline and the Oga Peninsula immediately following takeoff.
Mount Chokai
A massive independent peak often referred to as 'Akita Fuji' visible early in the flight.
Tokyo Skytree
The world's tallest tower is often visible to the east during the final approach over Tokyo Bay.
Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line
The bridge-tunnel crossing and the Umi-hotaru parking island during the low-altitude descent.
Sit on the left if you enjoy coastal scenery and want a chance to see the Tokyo Skytree and the dense urban sprawl of Chiba and Tokyo during the landing phase. This side is particularly scenic during sunset as the city lights begin to flicker on over the bay.
