Our Recommendation
9.5

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.

Left Side Highlights
9.5
🗾

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.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

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.
