Our Recommendation
9.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is the undisputed winner for this route as it provides a front-row seat to Mount Fuji and the stunning Japanese Alps.

Left Side Highlights
9.5
🗻

Mount Fuji

The absolute highlight of the flight, offering a majestic close-up view of Japan's highest peak shortly after reaching cruising altitude.

🏔️

Southern Japanese Alps

The snow-capped Akaishi Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop of rugged peaks to the north of the flight path.

🏞️

Lake Ashi and Hakone

View the beautiful crater lake and the steaming volcanic vents of Owakudani in the Hakone region.

🏙️

Shizuoka Skyline

The urban sprawl of Shizuoka City nestled between the mountains and the Suruga Bay coastline.

🌃

Greater Tokyo Area

As you approach Narita, the vast urban expanse of Tokyo and its surrounding prefectures stretches to the horizon.

Sit on the left for the iconic Mt. Fuji view. Book a morning flight (8:00 AM - 10:00 AM) for the best chance of clear skies, as Fuji often hides behind clouds by midday. Ensure your seat is away from the wing for an unobstructed photo of the peak approximately 15-20 minutes after departure.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🌊

Pacific Ocean Coastline

Sweeping views of the Enshunada Sea and the dramatic coastline of the Tokai region.

🏝️

Izu Islands

On clear days, volcanic islands like Oshima and Toshima can be spotted emerging from the Pacific blue.

⚓

Sagami Bay

A deep-water bay known for its rich marine life and the coastal towns of the Shonan area.

🌲

Boso Peninsula

The lush green hills and rugged cliffs of Chiba Prefecture during the final descent into Narita.

🚢

Tokyo Bay Traffic

Watch massive container ships and tankers navigating the busy shipping lanes towards Chiba and Tokyo ports.

The right side offers serene ocean vistas and is excellent for sunrise views on the earliest flights. It is generally less crowded than the left side. During the final approach to Narita, you will get a better view of the rural landscapes and golf courses of Chiba Prefecture.
