HND â OKJ
Which side of the plane to sit from Tokyo Haneda International Airport (Tokyo) to Okayama Airport (Okayama)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers an iconic, close-up view of Mount Fuji, which is the highlight of domestic flights departing from Tokyo heading west.
Tokyo Cityscape
Depending on the departure runway, enjoy a panoramic view of the Skytree, Tokyo Tower, and the dense metropolis.
Mount Fuji
The absolute highlight, appearing roughly 15-20 minutes into the flight. The plane passes very close to the northern side of the peak.
Southern Alps
View the snow-capped peaks of the Akaishi Mountains, part of the spectacular Japanese Alps range.
Lake Biwa
Japan's largest freshwater lake is often visible in the distance as the flight crosses near the Shiga prefecture.
Kyoto Basin
Spot the historic grid-pattern layout of Kyoto surrounded by mountains before the final approach sequence.
Book a window seat on the right for the most famous view in Japanese aviation. To see Mount Fuji clearly, choose a morning flight when the air is crisp and clouds are less likely to obscure the peak. In winter, the mountain is beautifully capped in snow. Keep your camera ready shortly after the 'fasten seatbelt' sign is turned off.
Sagami Bay
View the scenic coastline of Enoshima and the popular beaches of the Shonan area shortly after takeoff.
Izu Peninsula
The rugged volcanic terrain and coastline of Izu are visible as the plane tracks along the southern coast.
Ise Bay
Look down at the massive industrial ports of Nagoya and the intricate coastline of the Shima Peninsula.
Osaka Bay
Pass over the Kansai region with views of the artificial islands of Kansai International Airport and the Kobe skyline.
Seto Inland Sea
As the plane prepares for its descent into Okayama, you can see the many small islands dotting the sea.
The left side is superior for coastal geography and seeing the massive urban sprawl of the Tokaido corridor. It is particularly beautiful during sunset flights as the sun reflects off the Seto Inland Sea. Watch for the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge connecting Honshu to Awaji Island.
