Seto Inland Sea
Immediately after departure, enjoy views of the island-dotted waters between Honshu and Shikoku.
Lake Biwa
Japan's largest freshwater lake appears as a massive blue expanse in the center of the country.
Japanese Alps
Spectacular views of the Hida, Kiso, and Akaishi mountain ranges, often snow-capped until late spring.
Mount Fuji
On clear days, the iconic silhouette of Fuji-san is visible to the south as you pass over central Honshu.
Pacific Ocean
As the flight nears Sendai, the coastline of the Pacific Ocean comes into view during the final approach.
For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Japanese Alps and Mt. Fuji. Winter and early spring offer the highest visibility. Mount Fuji will appear roughly midway through the flight; keep your camera ready as it passes relatively quickly.
