Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is the undisputed winner for this route due to its unparalleled, close-up view of Mount Fuji shortly after departure from Haneda, followed by the majestic Japanese Alps.

Right Side Highlights
9.5
🗻

Mount Fuji

The absolute highlight; the plane typically flies just south of the peak for a breathtaking view.

🏔️

Southern Alps

The snow-capped peaks of the Akaishi Mountains, often called the roof of Japan.

🏙️

Nagoya Metropolis

A sprawling urban view of Japan's third-largest city and its busy international port.

💧

Lake Biwa

Japan's largest freshwater lake, visible as a massive blue expanse inland.

🏰

Hiroshima City

The delta geography of Hiroshima and the sacred island of Miyajima just before descent.

Mount Fuji usually appears 15 to 20 minutes after takeoff from Haneda. Book a window seat away from the wing (rows 1-10 or 25+) for an unobstructed photo of the peak. Morning flights provide the highest probability of clear skies before clouds form around the mountains.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏖️

Sagami Bay

View the beautiful coastline of Kamakura and the small island of Enoshima right after takeoff.

🌋

Izu Peninsula

Observe the rugged volcanic terrain and the Seven Islands of Izu scattered in the Pacific.

🌉

Akashi Kaikyo Bridge

Spot the world's longest suspension bridge connecting Kobe to Awaji Island.

🏝️

Seto Inland Sea

A stunning mosaic of thousands of small islands nestled between Honshu and Shikoku.

⛰️

Shikoku Mountains

The distant, rolling mountain ranges of Shikoku island visible across the water.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun glare. This side offers better views of the intricate coastline and the Shimanami Kaido island-hopping route. It is particularly scenic during sunset as the water reflects the orange sky.
