Our Recommendation
9.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers the premier view of Mount Fuji, which is widely considered the most iconic sight on any domestic Japanese flight path.

Right Side Highlights
9.8
🗻

Mount Fuji

The plane passes very close to Japan's highest peak approximately 15 to 20 minutes after departure from Haneda.

🏔️

Japanese Alps

Stunning views of the snow-capped Akaishi and Kiso mountain ranges stretching across central Honshu.

🏙️

Nagoya City

A clear view of the Chubu region's capital, including its downtown skyscrapers and industrial port.

🏯

Lake Biwa and Kyoto

Glimpses of Japan's largest freshwater lake and the historic grid layout of the ancient capital city.

The right side (Seat K on most narrow-body jets) is the best choice for this route. To maximize your chances of seeing Mount Fuji, book a morning flight before 10:00 AM, as clouds and haze often obscure the peak by the afternoon. Seasonal snow cover on the mountain is most impressive from late autumn through spring.

🌊

Sagami Bay

Aerial views of the Shonan coastline, Enoshima Island, and the historic coastal city of Kamakura.

🚢

Suruga Bay

A deep-blue perspective of Japan's deepest bay and the rugged silhouette of the Izu Peninsula.

🏙️

Osaka Metropolis

A dramatic, close-up view of Osaka's dense urban sprawl and port during the final descent into Itami Airport.

Choose the left side for better lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be on the opposite side. This side provides excellent coastal scenery and is particularly rewarding during the final approach over the Yodo River into Osaka's city center.
