Which side of the plane to sit from Hachijojima Airport (Hachijojima) to Tokyo Haneda International Airport (Tokyo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an incredible aerial tour of Japan's volcanic island chain and the most iconic view of Mount Fuji against the Tokyo skyline during descent.
Hachijo-fuji
A stunning view of the island's perfectly symmetrical dormant volcano immediately after takeoff.
Izu Archipelago
Sequential views of Miyakejima and Oshima islands, featuring visible volcanic craters and rugged coastlines.
Mount Fuji
A majestic panorama of Japan's highest peak appearing over the Sagami Bay during the descent phase.
Yokohama Skyline
Detailed views of the Landmark Tower, Cosmo World Ferris wheel, and the Minato Mirai waterfront district.
Kawasaki Industrial Zone
Intricate networks of factories and refineries that create a unique geometric landscape before landing.
For the best visibility of Mount Fuji, book a morning flight during winter months when the air is clearest. The mountain appears approximately 15 minutes before landing. Ensure you are seated well clear of the wing to capture the full scale of the Izu Islands chain.
Pacific Horizon
Deep blue vistas of the open ocean and the Kuroshio Current as the plane heads north toward the mainland.
Boso Peninsula
The lush green hills and rocky southern coastline of Chiba Prefecture as the flight enters Tokyo Bay.
Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line
The Umi-hotaru artificial island and the bridge-tunnel system connecting Kanagawa and Chiba.
Tokyo Disney Resort
A bird's-eye view of the theme parks and hotels located on the edge of the bay during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to avoid the harsh western sun and to see the glowing lights of the Chiba coastline. Watch for the 'Firefly' lights of the Aqua-Line bridge. This side also offers great views of the heavy maritime traffic entering Tokyo Port.
