Mount Fuji
The ultimate view of Japan's iconic peak, usually visible 15-20 minutes after takeoff.
Southern Alps
The snow-capped Akaishi Mountains offering dramatic alpine scenery in central Honshu.
Nagoya Metropolis
Distant views of the sprawling urban center and Ise Bay.
Seto Inland Sea
A stunning mosaic of hundreds of small islands and the Great Seto Bridge.
Hiroshima City
Clear views of the delta city and its historic bay area.
Kanmon Bridge
The bridge connecting Honshu and Kyushu visible during the final descent into Kitakyushu.
The right side is essential for the best Mount Fuji experience. Ensure you book a window seat away from the wing for unobstructed views of the Seto Inland Sea. Morning flights offer the crispest air for photography, while evening flights provide stunning sunsets over the sea as you approach Kyushu.
