The right side provides a front-row seat to several of Japan's most iconic 'local Fuji' volcanoes and the dramatic, rugged coastline of the Sea of Japan.
Search flights from CTS to OKJ
Mt. Yotei
Known as 'Ezo Fuji', this perfectly symmetrical stratovolcano is a highlight visible shortly after takeoff from New Chitose.
Lake Toya
A near-circular volcanic caldera lake with the active Mt. Usu and Showa Shinzan appearing on its southern shore.
Mt. Iwaki
The 'Tsugaru Fuji', a massive solitary peak that dominates the landscape of western Aomori prefecture.
Tottori Sand Dunes
A rare sight from the air, these massive coastal dunes create a striking contrast between the golden sand and the Sea of Japan.
Mt. Daisen
The highest peak in the Chugoku region, often appearing snow-capped in winter and resembling Mt. Fuji from certain angles.
The right side is essential for peak baggers; look for Mt. Yotei within the first 15 minutes of flight. Afternoon flights are ideal for this side as the sun moves toward the west, illuminating the Sea of Japan coastline and the Tottori Sand Dunes with warm, golden light before descent.

Shimokita Peninsula
The distinctive axe-shaped northernmost point of Honshu, featuring the sacred and rugged Mt. Osore area.
Lake Towada
A deep blue caldera lake situated on the border of Aomori and Akita prefectures, surrounded by lush seasonal forests.
Seto Inland Sea
During the final descent into Okayama, enjoy views of the numerous small islands scattered across the sparkling blue water.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Seto Inland Sea islands during the final approach into Okayama. This side is also better for early morning flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the Shimokita Peninsula and the Sanriku coast in the distance.
