Sakurajima
Look back shortly after takeoff to see the active volcanic peak of Kagoshima's most famous landmark.
Lake Hamana
A large and distinctive brackish lagoon visible as the aircraft passes over Shizuoka.
Mount Fuji
The undisputed highlight of the flight, providing a majestic view of the snow-capped peak from the north.
Southern Alps
The high, rugged peaks of the Akaishi Mountains provide a spectacular mountain backdrop.
Suruga Bay Coast
Detailed views of the Shizuoka coastline and the industrial ports nestled under the mountains.
To see Mount Fuji clearly, look out approximately 20 to 25 minutes before landing at Narita. Morning flights are best as the mountain is frequently obscured by clouds in the afternoon. Winter months provide the most consistent clear-air visibility and the best snow cover on the peaks.
