Which side of the plane to sit from Kitakyūshū Airport (Kitakyushu) to Tokyo Haneda International Airport (Tokyo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most iconic Japanese aerial view: a stunning close-up of Mount Fuji, alongside views of the Japanese Alps and the dense urban sprawl of the Kanto region upon arrival.
Kanmon Bridge
Early in the flight, catch a glimpse of the bridge connecting Kyushu and Honshu.
Seto Inland Sea
View the northern coastlines of the Chugoku region and the myriad of small islands.
Japanese Alps
The snow-capped peaks of the Southern Alps are visible to the north as you cross Honshu.
Mount Fuji
The undisputed highlight, appearing majestically on the left approximately 20-30 minutes before landing.
Yokohama Minato Mirai
The skyscrapers and ferris wheel of Yokohama are clearly visible during the descent into Tokyo.
Tokyo Skyline
Depending on the wind, a spectacular sweep of the Shinjuku and Shibuya skylines.
Book a window seat on the A-side for the best Mount Fuji experience. Morning flights are ideal as the sun rises in the east, illuminating the northern side of the mountain and preventing harsh glare. In winter, the air is exceptionally clear, making the mountain views much more vivid.
Shikoku Coastline
Detailed views of the rugged northern and eastern coastlines of Shikoku island.
Akashi Kaikyo Bridge
Look for the world's longest suspension bridge near Kobe as you cross the Kitan Strait.
Pacific Ocean
Expansive views of the deep blue Enshu-nada Sea south of the Tokai region.
Izu Oshima
The volcanic island and its smoking crater can often be seen jutting out of the Pacific.
Boso Peninsula
The green rolling hills and golf courses of Chiba Prefecture during the final approach.
Tokyo Bay
A birds-eye view of the massive cargo ships and tankers entering one of the world's busiest ports.
Choose the K-side window for beautiful maritime scenery and island hopping views over the Seto Inland Sea. This side is often better for sunset flights, as you can watch the sun dip below the horizon over the ocean without the obstruction of the mainland mountains.
