Which side of the plane to sit from Tokyo Haneda International Airport (Tokyo) to Matsuyama Airport (Matsuyama)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most iconic view in Japanese aviation: a close-up pass of Mount Fuji, followed by the majestic Southern Alps and the stunning island-dotted Seto Inland Sea.
Search flights from HND to MYJ
Mount Fuji
The absolute highlight, usually visible 10-15 minutes after takeoff as the plane passes just south of the peak.
Southern Alps
The snow-capped 3,000-meter peaks of the Minami Alps, providing a rugged contrast to the coastal plains.
Nagoya Metropolis
A wide view of central Japan's industrial heartland, including the Port of Nagoya and the city center.
Seto Inland Sea
A breathtaking mosaic of hundreds of small islands and the white bridges of the Shimanami Kaido.
Matsuyama City
On final approach, you can often spot the hilltop Matsuyama Castle standing guard over the city.
This is the 'Golden Route' for Mount Fuji views. Request a window seat away from the wing (rows 5-10 or 25+) to ensure an unobstructed photo. Winter months (December-February) offer the highest probability of clear skies. For sunset flights, the right side provides a spectacular backdrop of the Inland Sea islands silhouetted against the orange sky.
Book Hotels in Matsuyama
Izu Peninsula
Dramatic volcanic coastlines and the jagged cliffs of the Jogasaki Coast stretching into the Pacific.
Ise-Shima Coastline
The intricate rias coastline of Mie Prefecture, famous for pearl cultivation and the Ise Grand Shrine area.
Awaji Island
A clear view of the massive island bridging the gap between Honshu and Shikoku across the Osaka Bay.
Mount Ishizuchi
As you descend into Matsuyama, the sharp peaks of Shikoku's highest mountain range appear to the south.
Sit on the left if you prefer coastal vistas of the Pacific Ocean and want to avoid the direct afternoon sun when flying west. In the morning, the light hits the Izu Peninsula beautifully. This side is also better for spotting the Kii Peninsula's dense forests and the remote Shima Peninsula.
