Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a front-row seat to the Izu Island chain and, on clear days, the iconic silhouette of Mount Fuji against the Japanese mainland.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏙️

Yokohama Skyline

Clear views of the Landmark Tower and the Minato Mirai district as the plane climbs out of Tokyo Bay.

🏔️

Mount Fuji

The snow-capped peak of Japan's most famous mountain is often visible to the west over the Izu Peninsula.

🌋

Izu Oshima

A stunning bird's-eye view of the massive Mt. Mihara caldera on the largest of the Izu Islands.

🏖️

Niijima & Shikinejima

Look for the white volcanic sand beaches and the unique, fragmented coastline of these neighboring islands.

⛰️

Hachijo-fuji

The perfectly symmetrical volcanic cone of Mt. Nishiyama (Hachijo-fuji) dominates the window view during the final descent.

The right side is essential for seeing Mount Fuji, which is most visible during winter or early morning flights when the air is clearest. During the descent into Hachijojima, the aircraft often circles the island, providing a spectacular close-up of the lush green volcanic slopes.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏗️

Tokyo Bay & Boso

Aerial views of the massive industrial complexes and ports along the Chiba coastline immediately after departure.

🌊

Pacific Horizon

Expansive views of the deep blue Kuroshio Current where it meets the coastal waters of Japan.

🌋

Miyakejima

View of the active volcanic island known for its frequent eruptions and the large Oyama crater.

🐬

Mikurajima

A glimpse of this steep, forest-covered island famous for its wild dolphin populations and dramatic sea cliffs.

Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Pacific. While this side features more open ocean, the approach to Hachijojima can offer a great view of the island's smaller peak, Mihirayama, depending on the wind direction.
