Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the most iconic views in Japan, including a spectacular close-up of Mount Fuji and the Southern Japanese Alps shortly after departure.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🗻

Mount Fuji

The quintessential view of Japan's tallest peak, visible on the left approximately 15 minutes after takeoff.

🏔️

Southern Japanese Alps

Dramatic snow-capped peaks of the Akaishi Mountains stretching across Yamanashi and Nagano.

💧

Lake Suwa

A beautiful circular lake in the center of Nagano Prefecture, easily identifiable from cruising altitude.

🌋

Mount Ontake

A prominent and historically significant active volcano located on the border of Nagano and Gifu.

Book a window seat on the left for the best chance to see Mt. Fuji. Choose a morning flight (before 10:00 AM) for the clearest atmospheric conditions, as clouds often obscure the mountain by mid-afternoon. Ensure you are looking out shortly after the initial climb-out from the Kanto region.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Tokyo Metropolitan Area

Stunning aerial views of the Tokyo Skytree and the dense urban sprawl of the Kanto Plain during departure.

🏔️

Northern Japanese Alps

Views of the Hida Mountains, including the famous Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route area.

🌊

Toyama Bay

The deep blue waters of Toyama Bay as the aircraft begins its descent toward the Noto Peninsula.

🌾

Noto Countryside

Lush green rice paddies and traditional Satoyama landscapes during the final approach into NTQ.

The right side is excellent for urban photography during takeoff from Haneda. As the flight progresses, watch for the rugged Northern Alps. During winter months, this side provides beautiful views of the sunset over the Sea of Japan if you are on a late afternoon flight.
