Our Recommendation

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides the premier view of Mount Fuji and the Southern Japanese Alps, making it the most sought-after side for this short domestic route.

Left Side Highlights
9.5
🗻

Mount Fuji

The iconic snow-capped peak is visible mid-flight, appearing incredibly close if the flight path tracks south of the mountain.

🏔️

Southern Japanese Alps

Dramatic views of the Akaishi Mountains, featuring some of Japan's highest peaks like Mount Kita.

💧

Lake Hamana

A large and distinctively shaped brackish lagoon located in Shizuoka Prefecture.

🏙️

Shizuoka City

Dense urban sprawl stretching between the coastline and the steep mountain foothills.

🗼

West Tokyo

On the final descent, views of the sprawling Kanto Plain and the skyscraper districts of Shinjuku.

For the best view of Mt. Fuji, sit on the left side (Port). The peak usually appears roughly 20-25 minutes into the flight. Morning flights are highly recommended because cloud cover often obscures the peak by midday. In winter, the visibility is significantly better and the mountain is covered in thick snow.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Ise Bay

Vast views of Japan's industrial heartland and the busy maritime traffic leaving Nagoya Port.

🏝️

Izu Peninsula

The rugged, volcanic coastline and mountainous interior of this popular resort region.

🌋

Izu Oshima

An active volcanic island visible in the Pacific Ocean to the south.

🚢

Sagami Bay

Deep blue waters that serve as the gateway to the Tokyo and Yokohama ports.

🌉

Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line

The unique bridge and tunnel combination crossing Tokyo Bay, visible during the final approach.

The right side (Starboard) is ideal for coastal scenery and ocean views. During the landing sequence at Haneda, this side often offers a great look at the industrial beauty of the Kawasaki coastline and the Boso Peninsula. If flying at night, the right side provides a spectacular view of the illuminated ports and urban lights around Tokyo Bay.
