Seto Inland Sea
Early in the flight, catch glimpses of the many islands between Shikoku and Honshu.

Mount Fuji
On the horizon to the south, the iconic symmetrical cone is visible on clear days.
Mount Zao
A stunning volcanic range known for its crater lake, visible during the descent into Sendai.
For the best view of Mount Fuji and the Alps, book a morning flight to ensure the sun is behind you. Mount Fuji will appear roughly 45 to 55 minutes after takeoff. In winter, the 'snow monsters' on Mount Zao are a unique sight during the approach to SDJ.
