Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side of the aircraft offers the most iconic views in Japanese aviation, specifically a close-up perspective of Mount Fuji and the Southern Alps shortly after departure from Tokyo.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🗻

Mount Fuji

A spectacular, close-range view of Japan's highest peak, appearing approximately 15 minutes after takeoff.

🏔️

Southern Japanese Alps

The rugged, snow-capped peaks of the Akaishi Mountains stretching across central Honshu.

🌊

Suruga Bay

The deep blue waters of Japan's deepest bay visible along the Shizuoka coastline.

⛰️

Mount Daisen

The 'Fuji of Hoki' comes into view on the left as the flight descends toward the Tottori region.

For the best visibility of Mount Fuji, book an early morning flight (before 10:00 AM) when the air is clearest and the sun illuminates the eastern face. In winter, the snow cover is most dramatic. Sit in the forward or rear sections to avoid wing obstruction.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Tokyo Metropolis

Stunning aerial views of the Tokyo Skytree, Shinjuku skyline, and the sprawling Kanto Plain during ascent.

❄️

Northern Japanese Alps

Distances views of the Hida Mountains, often covered in deep snow through late spring.

💧

Lake Biwa

Japan's largest freshwater lake is visible to the north during the mid-flight cruise phase.

🏖️

Tottori Sand Dunes

The unique coastal desert landscape of Tottori is often visible on the right during the final approach to TTJ.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to avoid the direct southern glare. Keep your camera ready during the final 5 minutes of the flight for a chance to spot the famous sand dunes along the Sea of Japan coast.
