Which side of the plane to sit from Kōchi Ryōma Airport (Kochi) to Tokyo Haneda International Airport (Tokyo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a premier view of Mount Fuji, the Japanese Alps, and the dense urban sprawl of the Greater Tokyo Area during the final approach.
Mount Fuji
The majestic snow-capped peak is the highlight, appearing very close to the aircraft on the left side during descent.
Nagoya City
A sweeping view of central Japan's largest metropolitan area and its massive industrial port.
Lake Ashi
The picturesque crater lake in Hakone, nestled within the volcanic mountains of Kanagawa.
Yokohama Skyline
Clear views of the Minato Mirai 21 district, featuring the Landmark Tower and the Cosmo Clock ferris wheel.
Tama River
The natural boundary between Tokyo and Kawasaki, seen just moments before touching down at Haneda.
Book an 'A' window seat for the best perspective. Mount Fuji typically appears on the left roughly 15-20 minutes before landing. Flights departing Kochi in the early morning offer the highest probability of clear skies and ideal lighting for photography of the mountain.
Cape Muroto
The dramatic southeastern tip of Shikoku island jutting out into the deep blue Pacific Ocean.
Kii Peninsula
The rugged, forested coastline of Wakayama and Mie prefectures, known for their ancient pilgrimage routes.
Izu Islands
A chain of volcanic islands stretching south from Tokyo, with Oshima's Mount Mihara often visible.
Boso Peninsula
The rural hills and rocky shores of Chiba Prefecture as the plane turns toward Tokyo Bay.
Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line
The impressive bridge-tunnel system and the Umi-hotaru man-made island in the middle of the bay.
Select a 'K' window seat to enjoy the coastal geography. This side is particularly scenic during the descent over Tokyo Bay, where you can watch heavy maritime traffic and the massive Haneda D-Runway. Afternoon flights provide warm, golden light on the Pacific coastline.
