Which side of the plane to sit from Miyazaki Airport (Miyazaki) to Tokyo Haneda International Airport (Tokyo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is the superior choice for this route, offering breathtaking views of the Japanese coastline, the mountainous Kii Peninsula, and most importantly, a spectacular view of Mount Fuji during the approach to Tokyo.
Nichinan Coastline
Dramatic views of Miyazaki's rugged coastline and the turquoise waters of the Hyuga-nada Sea immediately after takeoff.
Kii Peninsula
The deep greens of the UNESCO-listed sacred mountains and forests of Wakayama Prefecture.
Mount Fuji
The iconic snow-capped peak is visible on the left side as the flight traverses the Shizuoka coastline toward Tokyo Bay.
Shizuoka Tea Fields
Rolling green hills and the deep indent of Suruga Bay visible just before the descent begins.
Tokyo Cityscape
On clear days during certain approach paths, the Skytree and the dense urban sprawl of the capital are visible.
Sit on the left (usually Seat A) for the best chance to see Mount Fuji. The mountain appears approximately 20 minutes before landing. Choose a morning flight to avoid the afternoon haze and clouds that often obscure the peak. Ensure your seat is forward or aft of the wing for an unobstructed view of the coastline.
Pacific Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the Pacific Ocean, particularly stunning during early morning sunrise flights.
Izu Islands
A chain of volcanic islands, including Izu Oshima, scattered in the ocean off the coast of Honshu.
Boso Peninsula
The sandy beaches and coastal towns of Chiba Prefecture as the plane makes its final turn into Tokyo Bay.
Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line
The 'Umihotaru' artificial island and the bridge-tunnel complex connecting Kanagawa and Chiba.
The right side (usually Seat K) is best for sunrise views over the ocean. If the flight lands via the C-runway at Haneda, you will get an excellent close-up view of the Tokyo Bay shipping lanes and the industrial docks of Kawasaki and Yokohama.
