HNDOIT

Which side of the plane to sit from Tokyo Haneda International Airport (Tokyo) to Oita Airport (Oita)?

Our Recommendation
9.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is iconic for providing the premier view of Mount Fuji shortly after departure from Haneda, followed by stunning vistas of the Seto Inland Sea.

Right Side Highlights
9.8
🗻

Mount Fuji

The absolute highlight, visible approximately 15 minutes after takeoff on the right-hand side.

🏙️

Nagoya Metropoli

Expansive views of Ise Bay and the dense urban sprawl of central Japan's industrial heart.

🗾

Seto Inland Sea

A breathtaking maze of thousands of small islands scattered across the calm blue waters.

🌋

Kunisaki Peninsula

Distinctive circular volcanic geography as the plane begins its final approach into Oita.

This is the 'Fuji Side'. Book a window seat away from the wing for unobstructed photos of the peak. Mount Fuji appears very early in the flight. During the latter half, the descent over the Seto Inland Sea provides some of the most beautiful island scenery in Japan. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for Mount Fuji.

🌊

Sagami Bay

Wide views of the Pacific coastline and the Izu Peninsula shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Izu Islands

On clear days, see Oshima and other volcanic islands dotting the Pacific Ocean.

🌲

Kii Peninsula

Deep green forested mountains and the rugged Kumano coastline.

⛰️

Shikoku Mountains

Aerial perspective of the high ridges and deep valleys of central Shikoku island.

Choose this side for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. It offers excellent views of the Pacific horizon and the dense, mountainous interior of Shikoku. Look for the whirlpools of the Naruto Strait in the distance if the flight path tracks slightly north.
