Search flights from HND to HSG
Mount Fuji
The most iconic view of Japan, appearing approximately 15-20 minutes after takeoff from Haneda.
Southern Japanese Alps
Snow-capped peaks of the Akaishi Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop during the first half of the flight.
Lake Biwa
Japan's largest freshwater lake visible near the Shiga and Kyoto region.
Okayama Cityscape
A clear view of the urban sprawl of western Honshu as the flight path tracks west.
Saga Plain
Vibrant green or golden rice paddies that define the landscape of the Saga region during the final approach.
The right side is the 'Fuji Side'. Sit here for the best chance to photograph Japan's highest peak. Flights departing in the early morning (before 10:00 AM) usually offer the clearest air for mountain spotting. In winter, the snow-covered peaks of the Alps are spectacular. Note that visibility is highly weather-dependent, so check the cloud cover forecast for Shizuoka Prefecture.

Izu Peninsula and Suruga Bay
Aerial views of the rugged coastline of Shizuoka and the deep waters of Suruga Bay.
Kii Peninsula
The dense, mountainous forests of Mie and Wakayama prefectures stretching toward the Pacific.
Seto Inland Sea Islands
A stunning mosaic of thousands of small islands scattered between Shikoku and Honshu.
Great Seto Bridge
The massive bridge system connecting Okayama and Kagawa is often visible during mid-flight.
Ariake Sea Mudflats
Unique geometric patterns of nori seaweed farms and tidal flats as you descend into Saga.
The left side is ideal for coastal enthusiasts. For the best experience, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind the plane, illuminating the Seto Inland Sea islands. Pay close attention during the final 15 minutes of the flight to see the unique agricultural patterns of the Saga Plain and the Ariake Sea's famous mudflats.
