HND → SHM
Which side of the plane to sit from Tokyo Haneda International Airport (Tokyo) to Nanki Shirahama Airport (Nanki-shirahama)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is significantly superior for this route as it offers a direct, unobstructed view of Mount Fuji, the Southern Japanese Alps, and the rugged coastline of the Ise and Shima regions.

Mount Fuji
The absolute highlight; the aircraft typically passes just south of the iconic peak, providing a majestic eye-level view.
Enoshima & Shonan
Detailed views of the popular Shonan coastline, Enoshima island, and the city of Kamakura shortly after takeoff.
Southern Alps
The snow-capped peaks of the Akaishi Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop behind the Shizuoka coastline.
Ise Bay
A clear view across the mouth of Ise Bay toward Nagoya and the Suzuka mountain range in the distance.
Kii Mountain Range
Dense, sacred forest canopies of the UNESCO-listed Kumano Kodo region as the plane maneuvers for landing.
Request a window seat on the right (usually K seats) for the legendary Fuji view, which occurs approximately 10-15 minutes after takeoff. In winter, the air is clearest for mountain photography. Avoid seats directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed downward view of the Shonan coast and the Kii mountains.

Tokyo Bay Departure
Aerial views of the Port of Tokyo and the massive D-Runway structures as you climb south out of Haneda.
Izu Oshima
On clear days, the volcanic island of Izu Oshima is visible floating in the Sagami Sea to the south.
Enshu-nada Coast
A long, sweeping view of the Pacific coastline stretching from Omaezaki toward the Atsumi Peninsula.
Ago Bay
The intricate rias coastline of Shima, famous for pearl cultivation and dotted with hundreds of small islands.
Shirahama Beaches
The brilliant white sands of Shirarahama Beach become visible during the final descent into SHM airport.
Sit on the left if you prefer endless ocean horizons and want to see the specific geography of the Shima Peninsula's pearl rafts. Early morning flights offer beautiful sun glint off the Pacific Ocean, but be prepared for intense brightness.
