Which side of the plane to sit from Tokyo Haneda International Airport (Tokyo) to Miho Yonago Airport (Miho)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most iconic views in Japan, including a close-up pass of Mount Fuji and a stunning approach toward the volcanic peaks of the Chugoku region near the destination.
Tokyo Cityscape
A panoramic view of downtown Tokyo, the Sumida River, and the Tokyo Skytree depending on the takeoff runway.
Mount Fuji
The undisputed highlight; the aircraft typically flies just south of the peak, providing a magnificent view of the crater.
Southern Alps
The snow-capped peaks of the Akaishi Mountains, often called the roof of Japan.
Lake Biwa
Japan's largest lake is often visible in the distance as the flight paths cross over central Honshu.
Chugoku Mountains
The dense, forested ridges of the Chugoku range dominate the view as you head toward the Sea of Japan.
Mount Daisen
Known as the 'Hoki Fuji,' this massive volcanic peak is the centerpiece of the landing approach into Yonago.
The right side is essential for the best Mount Fuji experience; sit just behind the wing to get the mountain and the engine in your shot. Book an early morning flight for the highest chance of clear visibility before clouds form around the peaks. During the descent into YGJ, keep your camera ready for the majestic Mount Daisen.
Tokyo Bay & Yokohama
Stunning aerial views of the Kawasaki industrial zone and Yokohama's Minato Mirai skyline shortly after takeoff.
Enoshima & Sagami Bay
A beautiful look at the coastline of Shonan and the small island of Enoshima connected by a bridge.
Izu Peninsula
The rugged, mountainous terrain of the Izu Peninsula stretching out into the Pacific Ocean.
Suruga Bay
A wide expanse of deep blue water contrasting with the jagged coastline of Shizuoka Prefecture.
Seto Inland Sea
As the plane crosses towards the Sea of Japan, the southern horizon reveals the shimmering waters and islands of the Seto Inland Sea.
Choose the left side for morning flights if you want to avoid direct sunlight and enjoy the coastal contours of the Pacific. While you miss the peak of Fuji, the coastal views of Yokohama and the Izu islands are excellent for photography.
