Tokyo Cityscape
Views of the Tokyo Skytree, Tokyo Tower, and the massive urban density of the Kanto Plain.
Mount Fuji
The absolute highlight; a close-up view of the snow-capped peak usually appearing 15-20 minutes after takeoff.
Southern Alps
The majestic, jagged peaks of the Akaishi Mountains stretching across central Japan.
Nagoya Urban Area
The sprawling industrial and residential landscape surrounding Ise Bay and Nagoya station.
Mount Rokko
The lush green mountain range that forms the backdrop to the city of Kobe as you touch down.
The right side is essential for seeing Mount Fuji. On clear winter days, visibility is exceptional. Aim for an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the mountain face perfectly. Be ready with your camera shortly after the flight reaches cruising altitude over the Kanto region.

This side is typically quieter visually but offers beautiful water reflections in the early morning.
