Lake Shikotsu
A massive, deep-blue caldera lake visible shortly after takeoff from Sapporo.
Mount Chokai
Often called the 'Dewa Fuji' for its perfect volcanic cone rising near the Akita coast.
Northern Japanese Alps
Dramatic views of the Hida Mountains, including the snow-capped peaks of Tateyama.
Lake Biwa
Japan's largest freshwater lake is frequently visible during the descent into the San'in region.
Kanazawa City
A clear view of the historic city and its surrounding plains between the mountains and the sea.
Opt for an early morning flight to see the sun illuminating the peaks of the Japanese Alps. On exceptionally clear days, look far south to potentially spot the silhouette of Mount Fuji. Sit behind the wing for the best unobstructed downward views of the crater lakes.

Tsugaru Strait
The narrow passage of water separating Hokkaido from Honshu, marked by Cape Tappi.
Oga Peninsula
The distinctive 'axe-shaped' peninsula in Akita Prefecture jutting into the Sea of Japan.
Sado Island
A large, historic island off the coast of Niigata known for its unique 'Z' shape.
Noto Peninsula
The rugged and scenic coastline of Ishikawa Prefecture stretching northward.
Tottori Sand Dunes
The massive coastal sand system visible just before the final approach into Yonago.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Sea of Japan. Winter flights offer a stark, beautiful contrast between the dark sea and the snow-covered coastal plains. Keep your camera ready as you pass the Noto Peninsula for great geometric coastline shots.
