Which side of the plane to sit from Tokyo Haneda International Airport (Tokyo) to Miyako Airport (Miyako)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is the definitive choice for this route, offering a world-class view of Mount Fuji shortly after departure and a panoramic view of the Japanese mainland coastline before transitioning to the stunning coral atolls of the Ryukyu Islands.
Mount Fuji
The crown jewel of the route, visible approximately 15 to 20 minutes after departure from Haneda.
Southern Alps
The snow-capped peaks of the Akaishi Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop as the plane heads southwest.
Kii Peninsula
Rugged mountainous terrain and the sacred sites of the Kumano region visible as the flight bypasses Nagoya.
Amami Oshima
Stunning views of the emerald green lagoons and dense forests of the Amami archipelago in the distance.
Ikema Bridge
A bird's-eye view of the bridge and the brilliant turquoise 'Miyako Blue' waters at the northern tip of the island.
The right side is essential for seeing Mount Fuji; sit in a window seat away from the wing for an unobstructed view. For the best lighting on Fuji, take a morning flight when the sun illuminates the eastern face. Keep your camera ready shortly after the 'fasten seatbelt' sign turns off after takeoff, as the plane reaches cruising altitude near Shizuoka.
Tokyo Bay
Aerial views of the busy shipping lanes and industrial landscape of Tokyo and Kawasaki shortly after takeoff.
Izu Islands
Volcanic islands like Oshima and Toshima dotting the Pacific Ocean to the south of the flight path.
Pacific Ocean
Deep blue vistas of the Philippine Sea, often showing the distinct transition to shallower coral waters near Miyako.
Irabu Bridge
The 3,540-meter bridge connecting Miyako to Irabu Island, visible during the final descent into Miyako Airport.
Choose the left side for better views of the Miyako coastline during the final approach. If the flight lands from the south, you will get a great look at the white sands of Maehama Beach. Morning flights provide excellent lighting for the deep blues of the Pacific without the sun glare found on the right side.
