Which side of the plane to sit from Iwami Airport (Iwami) to Tokyo Haneda International Airport (Tokyo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most iconic Japanese scenery, including the rugged San'in coastline, the Japanese Alps, and the premier view of Mount Fuji as you approach the Kanto region.
San'in Coastline
Dramatic rocky shores and deep blue waters of the Sea of Japan immediately after takeoff from Iwami.
Mt. Daisen
Also known as 'Hoki Fuji,' this impressive volcanic peak dominates the landscape of Tottori Prefecture.
Lake Biwa
Japan's largest freshwater lake is visible in the distance as the flight crosses over the Kansai region.
Southern Japanese Alps
A breathtaking panoramic view of the 3,000-meter peaks of the Akaishi Mountains.
Mount Fuji
The star attraction; the left side offers a stunning, close-up view of the snow-capped peak during the descent toward Tokyo.
Yokohama Skyline
Views of the Minato Mirai district and the Landmark Tower as the plane prepares for its final approach.
For the best experience, choose seat 'A'. Morning flights (08:00–11:00) offer the clearest views of Mt. Fuji before afternoon clouds typically roll in. In winter, the contrast of the snow-capped Alps against the blue sky is spectacular. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the Fuji fly-by.
Seto Inland Sea
Distant views of the labyrinth of islands between Honshu and Shikoku to the south.
Ise Bay
A bird's-eye view of the busy shipping lanes and the industrial hub surrounding Nagoya.
Enshu-nada Coast
The long, sweeping sandy coastline of Shizuoka stretching toward the Izu Peninsula.
Izu Peninsula
Rugged mountainous terrain and deep bays characteristic of this famous resort area.
Izu Oshima
The active volcanic island and its 'Mihara-yama' crater are often visible out at sea.
Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line
The impressive bridge-tunnel combination crossing the bay is visible during the final descent into Haneda.
Choose seat 'K' for expansive Pacific Ocean views. This side is particularly beautiful during sunset flights as the light reflects off the water of Tokyo Bay. During the final approach, you will see the massive container terminals of Kawasaki and the intricate layouts of the artificial islands in the bay.
