Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side of the aircraft offers a superior scenic experience, featuring a sequence of tropical islands followed by the dramatic coastline of mainland Japan and a world-class view of Mount Fuji during the descent into Tokyo.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🏝️

Nansei Archipelago

Stunning aerial views of the coral reefs and turquoise lagoons surrounding Okinawa and the Amami Islands shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Shikoku Coastline

Clear views of the rugged capes and deep blue waters of southern Shikoku, including Cape Ashizuri.

🗻

Mount Fuji

The most iconic highlight of the route, visible as a majestic peak on the left approximately 20-30 minutes before landing.

⛰️

Izu Peninsula

Detailed views of the volcanic mountainous terrain and jagged cliffs of the Izu region.

🏙️

Enoshima and Kamakura

The historic coastal cities and the tiny island of Enoshima as the flight enters the Kanto plain.

Choose a window seat on the left (usually 'A' seats) for the best chance to see Mount Fuji. This side is also shaded during morning flights, which helps with photography. Visibility is highest during the dry winter months (December to February). Keep your camera ready as soon as the descent begins, as the mountain appears suddenly after passing the Izu area.

Right Side Highlights
5.6
🌅

Pacific Horizon

Unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean, offering beautiful sunrise colors on early morning departures.

🌋

Izu Islands

A chain of volcanic islands, including Oshima and Niijima, appearing as emerald dots in the sea.

🏖️

Boso Peninsula

The scenic coastline of Chiba Prefecture, featuring high cliffs and sandy beaches during the final approach.

🚢

Tokyo Bay

An impressive view of the dense maritime traffic and industrial infrastructure of the world's busiest bay.

The right side (usually 'K' seats) is ideal for those who enjoy open ocean vistas and the morning sun. During the final approach into Haneda, this side provides the best view of the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line (the bridge-tunnel across the bay). Depending on the landing pattern, you may also see the distant skyline of Chiba city.
