Which side of the plane to sit from Memanbetsu Airport (Memanbetsu) to Tokyo Haneda International Airport (Tokyo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular journey along the mountainous spine of Honshu, including views of major volcanoes, Lake Inawashiro, and a distant view of Mount Fuji before landing.
Daisetsuzan National Park
Early in the flight, view the 'Roof of Hokkaido,' featuring the island's highest volcanic peaks.
Mount Iwate
A symmetrical stratovolcano nicknamed 'Nambu Fuji' that dominates the landscape as you fly over the Tohoku region.
Sendai City
The largest city in Tohoku is visible as the plane follows the coastline southward towards the Kanto plain.
Mount Fuji
On clear days, Japan's most iconic peak is visible on the horizon to the west as the flight prepares for its final descent.
Tokyo Cityscape
Depending on the landing runway, you often get a stunning view of the Tokyo Skytree and the dense urban sprawl of the capital.
The right side is the premier choice for mountain lovers. For the best views of Mount Fuji and the Tokyo skyline, choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the mountains from the east.
Sea of Okhotsk
Visible immediately after takeoff; from January to March, you can see the white expanse of drift ice floating near the shore.
Lake Mashu
Known as one of the clearest lakes in the world, this caldera lake is often visible in the distance during the climb out of Hokkaido.
Kujukuri Beach
A massive 60-kilometer stretch of sandy coastline in Chiba Prefecture, usually seen during the descent phase.
Tokyo Bay & Umihotaru
During the final approach, look down for the Aqua-Line bridge-tunnel and the massive cargo ships entering Japan's busiest port.
Sit on the left if you are flying in late winter to see the Okhotsk drift ice. This side also avoids direct afternoon sunlight, making it more comfortable for viewing the Pacific coastline and Chiba's industrial landscape during arrival.
