Which side of the plane to sit from Matsuyama Airport (Matsuyama) to Tokyo Haneda International Airport (Tokyo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is highly recommended for this route primarily for the spectacular and iconic views of Mount Fuji as you approach the Kanto region, alongside the dense urban geography of central Japan.
Seto Inland Sea
Just after takeoff from Matsuyama, you can see the intricate puzzle of islands scattered across the shimmering waters.
Kobe and Osaka
A distant view of the massive Kansai urban sprawl and the coastal industrial zones along the northern shore of Osaka Bay.
Mount Fuji
The peak usually appears about 45 minutes into the flight, standing majestically above the clouds on the left side of the aircraft.
Fuji Five Lakes
In clear weather, Lake Yamanaka and Lake Kawaguchi are clearly visible at the northern base of the mountain.
Tokyo Metropolis
During the final descent, the left side provides a sprawling view of the Shinjuku skyline and the dense Tokyo suburbs.
Book an 'A' window seat. Mount Fuji is the star attraction; it typically appears roughly 15-20 minutes before landing. Flights departing in the early morning (before 10 AM) offer the best chance of a clear view before afternoon clouds build up around the peak. In winter, the snow-capped peak is exceptionally vibrant.
Cape Muroto
View the dramatic eastern tip of Shikoku island as the plane crosses the Kii Channel toward the Pacific.
Kii Peninsula
The rugged, forested mountains of the Kii Peninsula provide a deep green contrast to the blue Pacific coastline.
Izu Islands
Look out over the ocean to see the volcanic chain of islands, including the smoking crater of Oshima.
Tokyo Aqua-Line
Just before touchdown, you can see the 'Umi-hotaru' parking area and the bridge-tunnel crossing the bay.
Tokyo Bay Ports
A bird's-eye view of the massive container ships and industrial infrastructure of Chiba and Tokyo's waterfront.
Choose a 'K' window seat for coastal and maritime views. This side is excellent for seeing the jagged coastline of southern Honshu. If the plane uses the 'LDG RWY 34' approach (common in good weather), the right side offers a direct view of the Tokyo Gate Bridge and the Tokyo Disney Resort just before landing.
