Which side of the plane to sit from Komatsu Airport (Kanazawa) to Tokyo Haneda International Airport (Tokyo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most iconic and close-up views of Mount Fuji and the Southern Japanese Alps, which are the highlights of this cross-island route.
Search flights from KMQ to HND
Mount Hakusan
One of Japan's three holy mountains, visible shortly after departing Komatsu.
Southern Alps
The high-altitude ridges of the Akaishi Mountains spanning central Honshu.
Mount Fuji
The crown jewel of Japanese landmarks, usually passed on the right side at high altitude.
Suruga Bay
Deep blue Pacific waters and the Izu Peninsula coastline visible during the descent phase.
The right side is essential for viewing Mount Fuji. For the clearest views, book a morning flight when atmospheric haze is lowest. This view typically occurs 30-40 minutes into the flight. In winter, the snow coverage on both Hakusan and Fuji is significantly more photogenic. Be aware that afternoon sun can be quite strong on this side during the journey south.

Aerial views of the Ishikawa shoreline and the Kaga region immediately after takeoff.
Northern Alps
Dramatic snow-capped peaks of the Hida Mountain range visible to the northeast.
Metropolitan Tokyo
The dense urban sprawl of western Tokyo and Shinjuku's skyscrapers during descent.
Tokyo Skytree
The world's tallest freestanding tower is often visible on the left during the final approach.
Select the left side if you prefer seeing the city layout of Tokyo and the Northern Alps. In the morning, this side avoids direct sun glare. During a north-to-south landing (Runway 34L/R), the left side provides a stunning panoramic view of the Tokyo Skytree and the Sumida River area just before touchdown.
