Mount Aso Caldera
Glimpse the massive volcanic crater and active steam vents of one of the world's largest calderas in central Kyushu.
Seto Inland Sea
Distant views of the labyrinthine islands and coastal cities nestled between the main islands of Japan.
Mount Fuji
The undisputed highlight of the flight; the plane passes north of the peak, providing an iconic view from the left window.
Yokohama Skyline
Detailed views of the Minato Mirai 21 district, the Landmark Tower, and the massive Port of Yokohama.
Tokyo Cityscape
A sweeping view of the world's most populous metropolitan area, including Tokyo Tower and the Skytree on clear days.
Request a window seat on the left (Port) side and aim for a morning flight to have the sun behind you for the best photography of Mount Fuji. The mountain typically appears about 15 to 20 minutes before landing at Haneda. During winter months, visibility is significantly higher due to drier air.

Amakusa Islands
Beautiful views of the scattered islands and blue waters immediately after departing Nagasaki.
Kii Peninsula Coast
Follow the rugged, mountainous coastline of the Pacific side, featuring deep bays and forested cliffs.
Ise Bay
Look for the pearl cultivation rafts and heavy maritime traffic entering the bay near Nagoya.
Izu Oshima
A prominent volcanic island in the Philippine Sea, often visible as the flight turns toward Tokyo Bay.
Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line
The unique bridge-tunnel structure crossing the middle of Tokyo Bay is clearly visible during the final descent.
The right side (Starboard) is excellent for coastal scenery and island spotting. It is particularly scenic if the aircraft is put into a holding pattern over the Boso Peninsula, offering a full view of the Tokyo Bay entrance. Late afternoon flights provide a beautiful 'golden hour' glow over the Pacific Ocean.
