Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers a spectacular progression from Hokkaido's volcanic caldera lakes to the dramatic snow-capped peaks of the Japan Alps and a high-altitude view of Mount Fuji.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🌋

Lake Kussharo

Massive caldera lake visible shortly after takeoff from Memanbetsu, often surrounded by lush forests.

🏔️

Tohoku Volcanoes

Stunning views of Mount Iwate and Mount Chokai as the flight path traverses the spine of Honshu.

💧

Lake Towada

A beautiful double-caldera lake located on the border between Akita and Aomori prefectures.

🏔️

The Japan Alps

The breathtaking Hida, Kiso, and Akaishi mountain ranges, especially impressive when snow-capped in winter.

🗻

Mount Fuji

Visible in the distance to the south as the aircraft begins its descent towards the Chubu region.

🗾

Ise Bay

A complete view of the bay and the Nagoya city skyline as the plane aligns with the offshore runway.

This is the premier side for geography lovers. In winter, the snow-covered Japan Alps are a highlight. For the best view of Mount Fuji, keep your eyes directed slightly forward and left of the wing as you pass through central Honshu. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for the mountain ranges.

🌊

Pacific Coastline

Panoramic views of the rugged Sanriku Coast and its intricate rias inlets as the plane moves south.

🏙️

Sendai Metropolitan Area

Aerial perspective of the largest city in Tohoku and the nearby scenic Matsushima Bay islands.

🌅

Oceanic Horizons

Ideal for morning flights to see the sun reflecting off the Pacific Ocean waters.

🏗️

Nagoya Port

Views of one of Japan's busiest industrial ports during the final approach into Ise Bay.

Choose this side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Pacific. During the descent into NGO, look for the industrial landscapes of the Aichi coastline. This side is generally quieter visually until the final approach.
