Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior sequence of Japan's most famous volcanic peaks, including potential views of Mt. Fuji during departure and the majestic Mt. Chokai during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🗻

Mt. Fuji

Visible to the southwest shortly after takeoff from Haneda if the flight path circles south before heading north.

🌊

Lake Inawashiro

One of Japan's largest freshwater lakes, located in Fukushima, known for its clear blue water.

🌋

Mt. Bandai

A prominent stratovolcano in Fukushima with a distinctive shape caused by a historic eruption.

🏔️

Mt. Chokai

Often called 'Dewaji-Fuji' due to its resemblance to Mt. Fuji, this massive peak dominates the horizon near the Sea of Japan.

🌾

Shonai Plain

Vast stretches of rice paddies that change color beautifully with the seasons, from emerald green to golden yellow.

Sit on the left for the most dramatic mountain scenery. In winter, the snow-capped peaks of the Tohoku region provide incredible contrast. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the mountain faces perfectly for photography.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🗼

Tokyo Skytree

Provides a bird's-eye view of the world's tallest tower and the dense urban grid of eastern Tokyo.

🏖️

Kujukuri Beach

A massive 66-kilometer long sandy coastline visible if the flight departs towards the east over Chiba.

🏙️

Sendai City

The largest city in Tohoku, easily identified by its dense cluster of high-rises and the nearby Hirose River.

🛶

Matsushima Bay

Distant views of the iconic pine-clad islands, recognized as one of Japan's 'Three Most Scenic Views'.

🌲

Kitakami Mountains

Rolling green hills and deep forest valleys that define the eastern landscape of northern Honshu.

The right side is best for those interested in urban landscapes and the Pacific coastline. If flying in the late afternoon, this side is shaded, which reduces glare on the window. Look for the Sanriku Coast's rugged features as you approach the northern latitudes.
