Search flights from HND to IWJ
Mount Fuji
The most famous landmark in Japan, visible shortly after takeoff from Haneda, often appearing remarkably close.
Southern Japanese Alps
Dramatic views of the snow-capped peaks of the Akaishi Mountains during the first half of the flight.
Lake Biwa
Japan's largest freshwater lake is frequently visible to the north as the plane crosses central Honshu.
San'in Coastline
Rugged cliffs and beautiful beaches of the Sea of Japan as the aircraft descends into Iwami.
The right side is essential for the Mount Fuji view; for morning flights, the sun is behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography. Look out approximately 15-20 minutes after takeoff. During winter months, the visibility is highest, making the snow-covered peaks of the Alps much more prominent. Aim for a window seat ahead of the wing for an unobstructed view of the descent into the coastal Iwami Airport.

Enshunada Coast
Panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean coastline stretching along the Shizuoka Prefecture.
Nagoya Cityscape
Aerial perspective of the Ise Bay and the dense urban center of Nagoya during mid-flight.
Seto Inland Sea
Glimpses of the numerous small islands and bridges connecting Honshu and Shikoku in the distance.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to enjoy the sun reflecting off the Pacific Ocean. This side offers better views of the industrial heartland of Japan and the complex geography of the Ise and Osaka bays. Sit behind the wing to ensure the engine does not block the coastal horizon.
