Tokyo Metropolis
Aerial views of the sprawling Kanto urban area and Tokyo Bay immediately after departure from Narita.
Mount Fuji
Japan's most iconic peak is visible to the south, typically appearing 15 to 20 minutes after takeoff.
Lake Suwa
A beautiful circular lake located in the Suwa Basin of central Nagano Prefecture.
Southern Japan Alps
High-altitude views of the 'Akaishi' range, featuring some of the tallest peaks in Japan.
Mount Hakusan
One of Japan's three holy mountains, appearing prominently on the left as the plane approaches Komatsu.
Sit on the left (port) side for the legendary view of Mount Fuji. To see the mountain clearly, book a morning flight to avoid the afternoon haze and cloud cover that often obscures the peak. During winter months, the contrast of the snow-capped Southern Alps against the blue sky is exceptionally vivid.

Kanto Plain
Vast views of Japan's largest agricultural and residential plain extending toward the Gunma mountains.
Mount Asama
A massive, active complex volcano visible on the border of Gunma and Nagano prefectures.
Northern Japan Alps
Spectacular views of the Hida Mountains, including the famous Tateyama and Tsurugi peaks.
Toyama Bay
The deep, crescent-shaped bay becomes visible as the aircraft crosses the mountain spine toward the Sea of Japan.
Noto Peninsula
The distant outline of the Noto Peninsula can be seen jutting into the Sea of Japan during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for mountain enthusiasts wanting to see the 'Roof of Japan.' Look for the dramatic transition from the flat Kanto Plain to the jagged Northern Alps. On clear days, the reflection of the sun on Toyama Bay during the descent is a highlight for photographers.
