Search flights from HND to NGS
Mount Fuji
The absolute highlight; the plane typically passes south of the peak, providing a close-up view of the crater.
Southern Japanese Alps
Snow-capped peaks of the Akaishi Mountains, often called the roof of Japan.
Nagoya and Ise Bay
Clear views of the sprawling Chubu metropolis and the complex industrial coastline.
Seto Inland Sea
A breathtaking panoramic view of hundreds of small islands and the Great Seto Bridge.
Omura Bay
The descent into Nagasaki Airport, which is located on a reclaimed island in the center of the bay.
The right side is essential for seeing Mount Fuji (usually 15-20 minutes after takeoff). To avoid the wing obstructing your view of Fuji and the Inland Sea, choose a seat toward the front or very rear of the cabin. Morning flights are highly recommended to avoid the afternoon haze that often obscures the mountains and the horizon.

Sagami Bay
Aerial views of Enoshima Island and the scenic coastline of the Shonan area shortly after departure.
Izu Peninsula
The rugged volcanic coastline and mountainous interior of Shizuoka Prefecture.
Shikoku Mountains
Deep green valleys and high ridges of the Shikoku range as you traverse the southern coast.
Bungo Channel
The sparkling waters separating Shikoku and Kyushu islands, often busy with ferry traffic.
Mount Aso
Views of the massive caldera and smoke plumes from one of the world's most active volcanoes.
Sit on the left for better views of the Pacific coastline and the Izu Islands. During early morning flights, this side receives direct sunlight, which can be harsh for photography; however, it offers the best views of the smoking crater of Mount Aso during the descent into Kyushu if the flight path tracks slightly south.
