Which side of the plane to sit from Matsuyama Airport (Matsuyama) to Narita International Airport (Tokyo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers the most iconic views of Japan, most notably a close-up perspective of Mount Fuji and the majestic peaks of the Southern Alps during the transit toward the Kanto Plain.
Ishizuchi Mountains
Shortly after departure, view the rugged peaks of Shikoku's highest mountain range.
Osaka Bay
A distant view of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge and the dense urban sprawl of the Kansai region.
Southern Alps
The snow-capped Akaishi Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop as the plane crosses over Shizuoka.
Mount Fuji
The star attraction; the aircraft passes just south of the summit, providing a massive, clear view.
Tokyo Skytree
On a clear day during the northern approach to Narita, the Tokyo skyline and Skytree are visible to the west.
Book a window seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Mount Fuji, which usually appears about 45-50 minutes into the flight. Early morning flights are highly recommended as Fuji is often obscured by clouds or haze by midday.
Pacific Coastline
Panoramic views of the deeply indented 'Rias' coastline of the Kii Peninsula and Shima.
Izu Islands
Spot the volcanic chain including Oshima and Toshima dots across the blue Pacific waters.
Sagami Bay
Views of the Enoshima island and the coastal towns of Kamakura and Zushi during the descent.
Kujukuri Beach
The long, elegant arc of Chiba's eastern coastline is clearly visible as the plane turns for final approach.
Tokyo Bay
Watch the heavy maritime traffic and the Tokyo Wan Aqua-Line bridge extending across the water.
The right side is preferable for afternoon flights as it avoids the direct glare of the sun, which can be intense on the left side. It also provides a better view of the unique geography of the Boso Peninsula and the various islands scattered off the coast of Tokyo.
