Tokyo & Yokohama Skyline
A dense urban tapestry featuring the Tokyo SkyTree and the Minato Mirai district shortly after takeoff.
Mount Fuji
The absolute highlight of the flight; the aircraft passes very close to the northern face of the snow-capped peak.
Southern Japanese Alps
Stunning views of the 'Roof of Japan' with several peaks exceeding 3,000 meters in elevation.
Lake Hamana
A large, uniquely shaped brackish lagoon located on the Pacific coast of Shizuoka.
Osaka & Kobe Metro Area
A spectacular view of the dense Kansai sprawl, including the artificial islands of Osaka Bay.
Akashi Kaikyo Bridge
The world's second-longest suspension bridge connecting Kobe to Awaji Island.
Shimanami Kaido Islands
A cluster of picturesque islands in the Seto Inland Sea connected by a series of massive bridges.
Request a window seat on the right and look out approximately 15 minutes after takeoff from Haneda to see Mount Fuji. Winter (December–February) provides the best visibility for mountain views. On the final approach to Iwakuni, the right side often catches a glimpse of the Hiroshima city skyline and the sacred island of Miyajima.

Tokyo Bay & Boso Peninsula
Aerial view of the industrial ports and the transition from urban Tokyo to the coastal cliffs of Chiba.
Enoshima & Sagami Bay
Clear views of the popular island resort of Enoshima and the crescent-shaped coastline of Shonan.
Suruga Bay
Japan's deepest bay, offering a wide expanse of blue water contrasted against the Izu Peninsula.
Kii Peninsula Peaks
The rugged, forested mountains of the UNESCO-listed Kumano Kodo region visible in the distance.
Southern Seto Inland Sea
A view of the numerous smaller islands and heavy maritime traffic heading toward the Bungo Channel.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. It offers a more serene view of the Pacific horizon and the intricate coastline of Mie and Wakayama prefectures. During the descent into Iwakuni, you will have a wide-angle view of the Shikoku mountains across the water.
