Which side of the plane to sit from Hakodate Airport (Hakodate) to Chubu Centrair International Airport (Nagoya)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for Japan's mountainous spine, including the majestic Northern Alps and distant views of Mount Fuji on clear days.
Tsugaru Strait
The deep blue waters separating Hokkaido from Honshu, often visible immediately after takeoff from Hakodate.
Northern Japanese Alps
A stunning sequence of jagged, snow-capped peaks in the Hida Mountain range, particularly vibrant in winter.
Mount Fuji
On clear days, Japan's iconic peak is visible in the distance to the southeast during the mid-to-late portion of the flight.
Nobi Plain
The sprawling urban landscape of Gifu and Nagoya as the aircraft begins its final descent.
Mount Ontake
One of Japan's major volcanoes, standing prominently near the flight path through the Chubu region.
Choose a window seat on the left (A) for the best chance to spot Mount Fuji. Morning flights are highly recommended as the air is clearer, and the rising sun illuminates the eastern faces of the Japanese Alps. During winter, the snow cover on the mountains provides exceptional contrast for photography.
Hakodate & Goryokaku
Aerial view of the star-shaped Goryokaku fort and the unique hourglass shape of Hakodate city upon departure.
Sea of Japan Coast
Beautiful views of the rugged western coastline of the Tohoku region and the blue expanse of the sea.
Mount Chokai
A magnificent stratovolcano known as 'Dewa Fuji' that rises dramatically near the Sea of Japan coast.
Noto Peninsula
The distinct shape of the Noto Peninsula can be seen jutting out into the sea to the west.
Ise Bay
The industrial and maritime activity of the bay surrounding the artificial island of Centrair Airport.
The right side (K) is perfect for viewing the unique geography of Hakodate city during takeoff. It also provides excellent coastal views. If the flight arrives at NGO from the south, you will get a great look at the man-made island structure of the airport from this side.
