Okinawa Main Island
Aerial views of the turquoise reefs surrounding Naha and the northern Yanbaru forests.
Mount Fuji
The iconic snow-capped peak is visible on the left roughly 20 to 30 minutes before landing at Haneda.
Shonan Coastline
Clear views of Enoshima Island and the sandy beaches of Sagami Bay.
Kyushu Mountains
The rugged, volcanic peaks of southern Kyushu and the Miyazaki coastline.
Tokyo Cityscape
Depending on the landing pattern, a stunning panorama of the Tokyo skyline and Shinjuku skyscrapers.
Sit on the left side for the best chance to see Mount Fuji; ensure you are in a window seat ahead of the wing for an unobstructed photo. This side is especially breathtaking during late afternoon flights as the sun sets behind the mountains. Watch for the change from coral blue waters to the deep Pacific as you cross the Kuroshio Current.

The right side offers a more peaceful, oceanic view and is perfect for catching the sunrise on early morning departures from Ishigaki. During the final descent into Haneda, look for the unique engineering of the 'D-Runway' and the industrial beauty of the Kawasaki refineries. It is generally quieter and less prone to sun glare in the afternoon.
