Which side of the plane to sit from Tokyo Haneda International Airport (Tokyo) to Tokushima Airport/JMSDF Air Base (Tokushima)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular and iconic view of Mount Fuji shortly after departure from Haneda, followed by a panoramic display of Japan's southern coastline and the Naruto Strait.
Mount Fuji
The absolute highlight; Japan's highest peak appears clearly on the right about 15-20 minutes after takeoff.
Southern Japanese Alps
A stunning view of the snow-capped Akaishi Mountains inland from the Shizuoka coast.
Ise Bay & Nagoya
The flight passes over the entrance of Ise Bay, offering views of the industrial ports and Nagoya city far inland.
Awaji Island & Naruto Bridge
During the descent into Tokushima, look for the bridge connecting Awaji to Shikoku and the famous whirlpool area.
Tokushima Plains
Green agricultural fields and the Yoshino River delta as the plane aligns with the runway.
This is the 'Fuji Side'. For the best photography, choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Winter months (Dec-Feb) offer the highest probability of clear, cloudless views of the mountain. Keep your camera ready shortly after the 'seatbelt sign off' chime following departure from Haneda.
Tokyo Bay & Miura Peninsula
Aerial perspectives of the massive container ships and the rugged coastline of Kanagawa as you climb.
Izu Islands
On clear days, see the volcanic chain including Oshima and Toshima dotted across the Pacific blue.
Kii Peninsula Coast
View the dramatic, forested mountain ranges of Wakayama meeting the jagged Pacific coastline.
Kii Channel
The final descent offers views of the vast water channel separating Honshu and Shikoku.
Choose the left side for morning flights to minimize sun glare while viewing the Pacific coastline. It provides a more tranquil, ocean-centric view compared to the urban and mountainous right side. Watch for the Shirahama coastline as you cross the Kii Peninsula.
