Which side of the plane to sit from Osaka International Airport (Osaka) to Narita International Airport (Tokyo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the legendary close-up view of Mount Fuji and the Southern Japanese Alps, which is the absolute highlight of domestic flying in Japan.
Osaka Urban Sprawl
Breathtaking aerial views of the Yodo River and the dense cityscape of Osaka and Kyoto immediately after takeoff.
Mount Fuji
The undisputed star of the route; the plane flies parallel to the iconic peak, offering unparalleled photo opportunities.
Southern Alps
A stunning vista of the Akaishi Mountains, featuring some of the highest non-volcanic summits in Japan.
Tokyo Metropolis
A sprawling view of the Kanto Plain and the distant Tokyo Skytree as the aircraft descends toward Narita.
For the best view of Mount Fuji, look out approximately 20 to 30 minutes after departure. Morning flights (before 10:00 AM) are highly recommended as Mount Fuji is often obscured by clouds in the afternoon. To ensure an unobstructed view for photography, choose a window seat either in the front of the cabin or behind the wings to avoid engine heat haze.
Osaka Bay
Views of the massive artificial islands, including the Port of Kobe, visible during the initial climb.
Ise Bay
The industrial heartland of central Japan and the coastline of the Kii Peninsula stretching into the Pacific.
Izu Islands
A chain of volcanic islands, notably the active volcano on Oshima, dotting the blue waters of the Pacific.
Kujukuri Beach
The beautiful, long sandy coastline of the Boso Peninsula visible during the final approach into Narita.
The right side is ideal for viewing Japan's rugged Pacific coastline and the volcanic island chains. On a clear day, you can spot the distinctive shape of Lake Hamana near Hamamatsu. During the winter months, the air is exceptionally clear, making the deep blue of the Pacific Ocean and the coastal details much more vivid. Afternoon flights offer a spectacular golden hour glow over the water.
