Which side of the plane to sit from Hyakuri Airport (Ibaraki) to Chubu Centrair International Airport (Nagoya)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an unparalleled view of Mount Fuji and the rugged peaks of the Southern Alps, alongside a panoramic view of the Kanto metropolitan area.
Mount Tsukuba
Visible immediately after takeoff from Hyakuri, standing prominently above the Kanto Plain.
Tokyo Skyline
A distant but vast view of the world's largest metropolitan area, including the Tokyo Skytree.
Mount Fuji
The absolute highlight of the route; the plane passes north of the peak for a majestic close-up.
Southern Alps
The snow-capped peaks of the Akaishi Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop mid-flight.
Shizuoka Tea Fields
The vibrant green patches of Japan's premier tea-growing region are visible during the descent.
Nagoya Cityscape
As the flight turns toward Centrair, the dense urban center of Nagoya comes into view.
For the best experience, book a window seat away from the wing (rows in the front or very rear). Mount Fuji appears roughly 20-30 minutes into the flight. Morning flights offer the crispest air for photography, while late afternoon flights can provide a stunning silhouette of the mountains against the sunset.
Pacific Coastline
Expansive views of the Pacific Ocean and the jagged coastline of the Izu Peninsula.
Izu Oshima
On clear days, the volcanic island of Oshima can be seen smoking in the distance to the south.
Suruga Bay
The deepest bay in Japan, often bustling with maritime traffic heading toward Shizuoka.
Ise Bay
The final approach offers a low-altitude view of the busy shipping lanes entering Nagoya's port.
Sea of Enshu
A long stretch of sandy coastline visible as the plane transitions toward the Chubu region.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. It offers excellent views of the deep blue Pacific and the complex geography of the Izu Islands. During the final descent into NGO, look for the intricate patterns of the Kiso Three Rivers delta entering Ise Bay.
