Hakkoda Mountains
A majestic volcanic mountain range visible shortly after takeoff from Misawa.
Lake Inawashiro
Japan's fourth largest lake, known as the 'Heavenly Mirror Lake,' reflecting the nearby Mount Bandai.
Nasu Volcanic Group
Active volcanic peaks located on the border of Tochigi and Fukushima prefectures.
Mount Fuji
The crowning jewel of the flight; visible on the horizon during the descent into the Kanto region.
Tokyo Cityscape
A breathtaking view of the world's most populous metropolitan area as you approach Haneda.
The right side is the clear winner for landmark spotting. To see Mount Fuji, look toward the southwest as the plane begins its descent into the Kanto Plain. Winter months (December-February) offer the highest probability of clear skies. On a clear day, you can also see the Japanese Alps in the far distance. Seats behind the wing are recommended to avoid engine obstruction of the mountain ranges.

Sanriku Coastline
View the dramatic rias coastline of Iwate, characterized by deep inlets and rugged cliffs.
Matsushima Bay
One of Japan's three most scenic views, featuring hundreds of tiny, pine-covered islands near Sendai.
Kujukuri Beach
A massive 60km long sandy beach that marks the eastern edge of the Boso Peninsula.
Tokyo Bay Entrance
Watch heavy maritime traffic and the transition from the Pacific Ocean into the busy Tokyo harbor area.
Sit on the left if you are on an early morning flight to catch the sunrise over the Pacific Ocean. This side is also best for viewing the Matsushima islands during the mid-portion of the flight. During the final approach into Haneda, you may see the Chiba industrial zone and the Tokyo Disney Resort if the flight path tracks over the bay.
