Search flights from FUK to HNA
Northern Japan Alps
Breathtaking views of the Hida Mountains, often snow-capped, providing some of Japan's most dramatic alpine scenery.
Lake Biwa
Japan's largest freshwater lake is frequently visible to the south as the plane traverses the central part of Honshu.
Mount Fuji
On clear days, the iconic cone of Fuji can be spotted in the far distance to the southeast while passing central Japan.
Lake Inawashiro
A beautiful large lake in Fukushima prefecture, acting as a gateway to the final descent into the Tohoku interior.
The right side is superior for mountain enthusiasts. Aim for a window seat away from the wing to fully capture the Northern Alps. In winter, the snow-covered peaks of the Ou Mountains provide a magical backdrop during the approach into Hanamaki. Early morning flights offer the best lighting for the eastern slopes of the mountains.

San'in Coastline
Striking views of the rugged Sea of Japan coast and the deep blue waters shortly after departure.
Sado Island
Depending on the flight corridor, the distinctive shape of Sado Island may appear on the horizon as you cross the sea.
Mount Chokai
Known as the 'Dewa Fuji,' this massive volcano offers a stunning silhouette against the coastline as you enter the Tohoku region.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and enjoy the high-contrast coastline. It is particularly scenic during sunset as the sun dips into the Sea of Japan. Watch for the Oki Islands if the flight path takes a more offshore route.
