Which side of the plane to sit from Chubu Centrair International Airport (Nagoya) to Hyakuri Airport (Ibaraki)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a premier view of Mount Fuji and the majestic Southern Alps during the mid-flight segment, providing the most iconic Japanese landscapes.
Southern Alps
Spectacular views of the snow-capped Akaishi Mountains shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Mount Fuji
The quintessential view of Japan's tallest peak, usually visible approximately 20-25 minutes into the flight.
Tokyo Cityscape
A vast panorama of the Tokyo metropolitan area and the Skytree as the flight passes north of the capital.
Mount Tsukuba
The distinctive twin peaks of Mount Tsukuba mark the final descent into the Ibaraki region.
Book a window seat on the left for the best chance to see Mount Fuji. Morning flights (8:00 AM - 10:00 AM) are ideal as the air is clearest, reducing haze around the volcanic cone. During winter, the snow cover on the mountains is most prominent and photogenic.
Ise Bay
Excellent views of the Nagoya port area and the sparkling waters of Ise Bay immediately after takeoff.
Izu Peninsula
The rugged, mountainous coastline of the Izu Peninsula stretching out into the Pacific Ocean.
Tokyo Bay & Boso
Aerial view of the busy shipping lanes of Tokyo Bay and the green rolling hills of the Boso Peninsula.
Lake Kasumigaura
Japan's second-largest lake appears on the right side during the final approach to Hyakuri Airport.
The right side is perfect for coastal enthusiasts. On late afternoon flights, you can enjoy the 'Golden Hour' reflection on the Pacific Ocean and Lake Kasumigaura. Keep an eye out for the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line bridge crossing the water during the descent phase.
