Search flights from FKS to ITM
Mount Fuji
The most iconic view of Japan's tallest peak, typically visible around 35-40 minutes into the flight.
Suruga Bay
Deep blue waters and the jagged coastline of the Izu Peninsula stretching into the Pacific Ocean.
Tokyo Bay
A distant but expansive view of the world's most populous metropolitan area and its massive industrial port.
Nagoya Port
Detailed views of the industrial heartland and the complex shipping lanes of the Ise Bay.
Hakone Range
The volcanic caldera and scenic Lake Ashi nestled within the mountains of Kanagawa Prefecture.
For the clearest view of Mount Fuji, book a morning flight to avoid the clouds that often form around the peak by midday. In winter, the snow-cap is much more prominent. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the horizon and the mountain is unobstructed by the engine or wing structure.

Japanese Alps
Dramatic views of the snow-capped Southern and Central Alps, including peaks exceeding 3,000 meters.
Lake Biwa
Japan's largest freshwater lake, which dominates the landscape during the descent into the Kansai region.
Kyoto City
The historic grid layout of the ancient capital, with visible temple clusters and the Kamo River.
Mount Bandai
A striking view of this iconic volcano's collapsed northern face shortly after takeoff from Fukushima.
Kiso Valley
Densely forested ridges and steep valleys that define the rugged interior of central Honshu.
The right side is ideal for mountain enthusiasts wanting to see the 'Roof of Japan.' During the final 15 minutes of the flight, stay alert for the transition from the mountains to the flat Biwa basin, followed immediately by the historic sights of Kyoto. Late afternoon flights provide excellent 'golden hour' lighting on the alpine peaks.
