Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides the most iconic views, including the Tokyo skyline, distant glimpses of Mt. Fuji, the volcanic peaks of Tohoku, and the famous star-shaped Goryokaku Fort during the descent into Hakodate.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Tokyo Skyline

Dramatic views of the Tokyo Skytree and the dense urban sprawl of the Kanto Plain shortly after takeoff.

🗻

Mount Fuji

Visible in the distance to the west on clear days shortly after leaving the Tokyo metropolitan area.

🌊

Lake Towada

A stunning blue caldera lake nestled on the border between Akita and Aomori prefectures.

🏔️

Mount Iwaki

The 'Tsugaru Fuji' stands out as a solitary, symmetrical volcanic cone in western Aomori.

🌟

Goryokaku Fort

The historic star-shaped citadel is often visible during the final banking turn into Hakodate Airport.

Book an 'A' seat for the best views. In winter, the Ou Mountain Range is blanketed in deep snow, making for incredible photography. For the Goryokaku Fort, watch closely during the last 5-10 minutes of the flight as the plane descends over the city.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🎡

Tokyo Disneyland

Bird's-eye view of the resort and the Urayasu coastline immediately after departing Haneda.

🏝️

Matsushima Bay

One of Japan's three most scenic views, featuring hundreds of tiny pine-clad islands near Sendai.

🌋

Mount Iwate

A massive, rugged stratovolcano that dominates the landscape as you fly over Iwate Prefecture.

🪓

Shimokita Peninsula

The distinctive 'axe-shaped' northernmost tip of Honshu island jutting into the sea.

🚢

Tsugaru Strait

The narrow body of water separating Honshu and Hokkaido, often dotted with ferries and cargo ships.

Choose a 'K' seat to capture the Pacific coastline. This side is particularly beautiful during morning flights when the sun illuminates the rugged cliffs of the Sanriku Coast and the Shimokita Peninsula.
