Sakurajima
Immediately after takeoff, witness the active volcano Sakurajima venting smoke over the Kinko Bay.
Shikoku Mountains
Fly over the rugged interior of Shikoku, including the prominent peaks of the Ishizuchi Range.
Osaka and Kobe
Glimpse the sprawling Kansai metropolitan area and the Seto Inland Sea to the north.
Mount Fuji
The highlight of the flight; the iconic snow-capped peak appears on the left about 20-30 minutes before landing.
Tokyo Skyline
On the final approach to Haneda, get a panoramic view of the Skytree and the dense Tokyo urban landscape.
For the best visibility of Mount Fuji, choose a seat between rows A and C. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the mountain from the east, and the air is generally clearer. Ensure you are looking out approximately 80-100 miles before reaching Tokyo. If the plane lands from the south (Runway 34), you will get an excellent view of the city center.

Hyuga-nada Coast
Observe the beautiful coastline of Miyazaki Prefecture and the deep blue Pacific waters.
Cape Ashizuri
The southernmost point of Shikoku island, known for its dramatic cliffs and lighthouse.
Kii Peninsula
View the dense forests and jagged coastline of Wakayama and the sacred Kumano Kodo area.
Izu Islands
Spot the volcanic island chain stretching south of Tokyo, including Oshima and Niijima.
Tokyo Bay
Watch the heavy maritime traffic, the Aqua-Line bridge, and the industrial ports of Chiba during descent.
The right side (Rows H-K) is best for coastal geography enthusiasts. It offers better lighting in the afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the sun. On approach, you will have a better view of the Boso Peninsula and the large cargo ships entering Tokyo Bay. This side is often quieter and less crowded than the 'Fuji side.'
