Which side of the plane to sit from Tokyo Haneda International Airport (Tokyo) to Toyama Airport (Toyama)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most iconic views in Japan, including a spectacular close-up of Mount Fuji and the expansive Southern Japanese Alps shortly after departing Tokyo.
Tokyo Bay
Aerial views of Haneda's complex runway system and the industrial waterfront of Kawasaki and Yokohama.
Mount Fuji
The most famous view of the route, where the symmetrical cone of Fuji appears prominently to the south.
Southern Alps
The rugged, snow-capped peaks of the Akaishi Mountains stretching across the horizon.
Lake Suwa
A beautiful high-altitude lake in Nagano, often frozen over in the winter months.
Hida Mountains
Dense forests and steep valleys of the Central Alps as the plane prepares for its descent into Toyama.
Book a window seat on the left for the best photo opportunities of Mount Fuji, which usually appears 10-15 minutes after takeoff. Morning flights (before 10 AM) are highly recommended as the air is clearer and Fuji is less likely to be obscured by afternoon cloud cover. Ensure your seat is ahead of the wing for an unobstructed view of the mountain terrain.
Tokyo Cityscape
A sprawling view of the Kanto Plain, including the Tokyo Skytree and Shinjuku skyscrapers in the distance.
Northern Alps
Stunning views of the Tateyama mountain range, often referred to as the 'Roof of Japan'.
Toyama Bay
The deep, blue waters of the Sea of Japan appearing as the aircraft turns for its final approach.
Toyama Plain
A picturesque landscape of rural rice paddies and local villages leading into the city center.
The right side is superior during the final approach into Toyama Airport, offering a great look at the Tateyama Peaks. If flying in late spring, look for the remaining snow on the Northern Alps. Afternoon flights on this side enjoy softer lighting on the mountains without the harsh glare of the southern sun.
