Our Recommendation
9.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is the definitive choice for this route, offering an iconic and close-up view of Mount Fuji, the Japanese Southern Alps, and a sprawling aerial perspective of the Tokyo and Nagoya metropolises.

Right Side Highlights
9.8
đŸ—ŧ

Tokyo Skyline

Unmatched views of the Tokyo Skytree, Shinjuku skyscrapers, and the imperial palace grounds shortly after departure.

đŸ—ģ

Mount Fuji

The absolute highlight of the flight; the aircraft typically passes just south of the peak, providing a majestic view of the snow-capped cone.

đŸ”ī¸

Southern Alps

The jagged, high-altitude peaks of the Akaishi Mountains provide a stunning backdrop just west of Mount Fuji.

đŸ™ī¸

Nagoya City

Clear views of Central Japan's largest city, including Nagoya Castle and the bustling Meieki station district.

đŸ¯

Kyoto & Osaka

On the final approach to ITM, the right side often looks down over the historic grid of Kyoto and the dense urban landscape of Osaka.

Book a window seat well in advance, specifically away from the wing (Rows 1-10 or 25+). Mount Fuji appears approximately 15-20 minutes after takeoff. Winter months (December-February) offer the highest probability of clear, cloudless views of the mountains.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Tokyo Bay & Boso

Aerial views of the massive industrial ports and the Aqua-Line bridge crossing the bay immediately after takeoff.

đŸī¸

Izu Peninsula

Dramatic views of the rugged coastline, the Seven Islands of Izu, and the volcanic peak of Mount Omuro.

đŸšĸ

Suruga Bay

Japan's deepest bay, offering views of the Shizuoka coastline and busy shipping lanes heading toward the Pacific.

🚤

Lake Hamana

A unique brackish lagoon known for its eel farms and the distinctive bridge structures connecting the coastal roads.

â›Šī¸

Ise Bay

Glimpses of the Shima Peninsula and the sacred coastal areas near Ise Grand Shrine during the descent.

Sit toward the rear to avoid the wing if you want to photograph the coastline. This side is best during the afternoon to avoid the direct southern glare of the sun, making the ocean colors more vibrant.
