Our Recommendation
9.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side of the aircraft provides the iconic, close-up view of Mount Fuji, making it the superior choice for this short domestic hop across Japan's main island.

Left Side Highlights
9.5
🏙️

Osaka and Kyoto

Immediately after takeoff, view the dense urban sprawl of the Kansai region including northern Osaka and the historic Kyoto basin.

⛰️

Southern Japanese Alps

Rugged, snow-capped peaks of the Akaishi Mountains visible to the north as the plane cruises over Shizuoka Prefecture.

🗻

Mount Fuji

The ultimate highlight; the aircraft passes very close to the northern side of Japan's highest peak, offering breathtaking views of the crater.

💧

Lake Yamanaka

One of the Fuji Five Lakes, situated right at the base of the mountain, often reflecting the peak on clear days.

🏙️

West Tokyo Suburbs

As the descent begins, the vast residential areas of Tama and western Tokyo come into focus before turning toward the bay.

Book an 'A' seat for the best perspective. Mount Fuji typically appears roughly 30-40 minutes after takeoff. For the clearest views, choose morning flights as the mountain is often obscured by clouds or haze in the afternoon. Avoid the middle of the cabin (rows 15-25) to ensure the wing doesn't block your downward view of the peak.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Ise Bay

Expansive views of Nagoya's port and the industrial coastline of Mie Prefecture shortly after departure.

🏖️

Enshunada Coast

A long, sweeping coastline with white sand beaches and the mouth of the Tenryu River meeting the Pacific.

🌋

Izu Peninsula

The dramatic, volcanic coastline and mountainous interior of Izu, including views of the Amagi mountains.

🏝️

Oshima Island

Visible in the distance within the Sagami Sea, this active volcanic island is a unique landmark in the Pacific.

🚢

Tokyo Bay Approach

During the final approach into Haneda, see the massive cargo ships, the Aqua-Line bridge-tunnel, and the industrial landscape of Kawasaki.

Request a 'K' seat for these coastal views. While you miss Mount Fuji, this side offers beautiful maritime scenery and a great view of the Tokyo Bay traffic during descent. In winter, the air is much clearer, making it possible to see the distant Ogasawara island chain on exceptionally bright days.
