Mount Iwate
A massive stratovolcano known as the 'Nanbu Fuji' that dominates the landscape near Morioka.
Lake Towada
A stunning blue caldera lake nestled within the mountains of the Towada-Hachimantai National Park.
Ou Mountains
The longest mountain range in Japan, forming the backbone of the Tohoku region.
Mount Fuji
The legendary peak often emerges on the horizon to the west as the plane begins its descent into Tokyo.
Shinjuku Skyline
On certain approach patterns, the cluster of skyscrapers in Western Tokyo is visible just before touchdown.
The right side is the premier choice for mountain lovers. Mount Fuji is the star attraction; it typically appears about 20-30 minutes before landing. For the best visibility, choose an early morning flight when the air is clearest and the peaks are less likely to be obscured by clouds. In winter, the snow-capped Tohoku peaks create a stunning white landscape.

Tokyo Skytree
Depending on the approach path, the world's tallest tower is often visible on the left before landing.

A bird's-eye view of the massive cargo ships and industrial architecture of the Chiba coastline.
Sit on the left if you enjoy coastal scenery and want a chance to spot the Tokyo Disney Resort during the final approach. Morning flights offer excellent front-lighting on the Pacific coastline, making the water colors pop. Keep your camera ready as you cross over the Boso Peninsula for some of the busiest maritime views in the world.
