Our Recommendation
8.9

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a magnificent panorama of Japan's mountainous interior, including the volcanic peaks of the Tohoku region and the iconic silhouette of Mt. Fuji during the approach to Tokyo.

Right Side Highlights
8.9
🏔️

Ou Mountains

The longest mountain range in Japan, forming the central spine of the Tohoku region.

🌋

Mt. Iwate

A stunning stratovolcano that dominates the landscape near Morioka city.

🏔️

Mt. Zao

Famous for its volcanic crater lake and 'snow monsters' (frosted trees) in winter.

🗻

Mt. Fuji

The quintessential view of Japan's highest peak as the plane prepares for its descent.

🗼

Tokyo Cityscape

A dense urban jungle featuring the Tokyo Skytree and the Shinjuku skyline.

This is the premier side for mountain lovers. To see Mt. Fuji clearly, aim for a seat forward of the wing to avoid exhaust blur. Afternoon flights are particularly scenic on this side as the setting sun illuminates the Japanese Alps. During the 'LDA Approach' to Haneda, this side often yields spectacular close-ups of the Tokyo urban sprawl.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌾

Kushiro Wetlands

Japan's largest wetland ecosystem, visible shortly after departure from Kushiro Airport.

🌊

Pacific Coastline

Dramatic views of the Sanriku Coast, known for its rugged rias and jagged cliffs.

🏙️

Sendai Bay

The meeting point of the urban Sendai landscape and the vast Pacific Ocean.

🏖️

Kujukuri Beach

A massive 60-kilometer stretch of sandy coastline leading into the Boso Peninsula.

🚢

Tokyo Bay Traffic

View the intricate network of shipping lanes and industrial ports surrounding Chiba.

Choose this side for early morning departures to witness the sunrise over the Pacific. It is the best side for observing the coastal geography of the Tohoku region and provides a clear view of the Boso Peninsula during the final descent into Haneda. During winter, keep an eye out for potential drift ice near the Hokkaido coast depending on the wind.
