Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a front-row seat to Japan's most iconic landmark, Mount Fuji, along with the beautiful Seto Inland Sea and the major urban centers of Kansai.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🌋

Mount Aso Caldera

Immediately after takeoff, witness one of the world's largest active volcanic calderas and its smoking central cone.

🌊

Seto Inland Sea

Breathtaking views of the 'Aegean of the East' featuring hundreds of small islands and the Great Seto Bridge.

🏙️

Kansai Megalopolis

A sprawling view of Kobe, Osaka, and the historic landscape of the Kyoto basin in the distance.

🏔️

Japanese Alps

The snow-capped peaks of the Southern Alps (Akaishi Mountains) visible as you cruise toward central Honshu.

🗻

Mount Fuji

The definitive highlight of the flight; the left side provides the closest and most dramatic view of the summit.

Book a window seat on the left (A) for the iconic Mount Fuji view, which usually appears about 15-20 minutes before landing. For morning flights, this side has the best lighting for the Inland Sea. During winter, the clear air makes the mountain peaks exceptionally sharp, so keep your camera ready after passing the Kii Peninsula.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Shikoku Mountains

Aerial perspective of the rugged, forested interior and the high ridges of Shikoku Island.

⚓

Kii Peninsula

Dramatic views of the jagged coastline and the deep green forests of the sacred Kumano region.

⛴️

Ise Bay

View of the busy maritime traffic entering the Port of Nagoya and the Chita Peninsula.

🏝️

Izu Islands

Look out toward the Pacific to see the volcanic chain stretching south, including Oshima's smoking crater.

🌉

Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line

During the final approach into Haneda, see the bridge-tunnel crossing the bay and the Umi-hotaru rest area.

The right side (K) is ideal for coastal and ocean lovers. It offers better views of the Pacific horizon and the Izu chain of volcanic islands. If the flight approaches Haneda from the south (Route B), you will get a unique view of the Boso Peninsula and the Tokyo Bay shipping lanes. Afternoon flights on this side avoid the direct sun glare common on the left.
