HND → HIJ
Which side of the plane to sit from Tokyo Haneda International Airport (Tokyo) to Hiroshima Airport (Hiroshima)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is the definitive choice for this route as it provides a front-row seat to Mount Fuji and the stunning Southern Japanese Alps shortly after departure.
Search flights from HND to HIJ
Mount Fuji
The undisputed highlight of the flight; the iconic snow-capped peak appears roughly 15-20 minutes after takeoff.
Southern Japanese Alps
Dramatic views of the Akaishi Mountains, featuring some of Japan's highest and most rugged peaks.
Lake Biwa
Japan's largest freshwater lake is visible in its entirety as the flight passes over the Kansai region.
Kyoto and Osaka
On clear days, the dense urban sprawl of the Keihanshin metropolitan area stretches toward the horizon.
Be ready with your camera within 15 minutes of departure from Haneda to catch Mount Fuji. For the best view, avoid seats directly over the wing (usually mid-cabin) to ensure an unobstructed downward angle. Winter flights offer the highest probability of cloud-free views of the mountains, while morning flights provide the most dramatic shadows on the alpine terrain.
Book Hotels in Hiroshima
Sagami Bay
Aerial views of Enoshima Island and the scenic Shonan coastline immediately after takeoff.
Izu Peninsula
The rugged mountainous terrain and jagged coastline of Shizuoka extending into the Pacific.
Ise Bay
A clear view of the Nagoya port area and the intricate shoreline of the Shima Peninsula.
Seto Inland Sea
Dozens of small, forested islands scattered across the calm waters during the descent into Hiroshima.
Sit on the left if you are flying during a mid-day summer flight to avoid the harshest direct sunlight. This side is also excellent for observing the unique island geography of the Seto Inland Sea during the final 15 minutes of the flight. For the best photography of the coastline, morning flights provide the most favorable lighting.
