Ou Mountain Range
The central mountain spine of Honshu featuring rugged volcanic terrain.
Mt. Gassan

Mount Fuji
Visible to the southeast on clear days, standing out against the horizon.
Nagoya Metropolitan Area
The dense urban landscape and industrial heart of the Tokai region.
Ise Bay
Vibrant blue waters that signal the final descent into the airport.
Choose the left side for morning departures to have the sun behind you, making the mountains appear more vivid. Mount Fuji usually appears about 35-45 minutes after takeoff; look toward the southeast once the plane reaches cruising altitude over Central Japan.
