Our Recommendation
9.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is the definitive choice for this route because it provides an iconic, front-row seat to Mount Fuji and the majestic Southern Alps of Japan.

Right Side Highlights
9.5
🗼

Tokyo Skyline

A massive urban panorama including the Tokyo Skytree and the dense skyscrapers of Shinjuku and Minato.

🗻

Mount Fuji

The undisputed highlight of the flight; the aircraft passes north of the peak, offering a close-up view of the crater.

🏔️

Japan Southern Alps

The high, jagged peaks of the Akaishi Mountains, often covered in snow during winter and spring.

💧

Lake Hamana

A large, scenic brackish lake located in Shizuoka Prefecture, famous for its eel and resort towns.

🏙️

Nagoya City

The sprawling cityscape of Nagoya and the Port of Nagoya visible just before the final turn into the bay.

This is one of the best domestic routes for viewing Mount Fuji. For the clearest views, choose a morning flight during autumn or winter when the air is dry and the mountain is snow-capped. Fuji typically appears approximately 15 to 25 minutes after departure from Narita. Keep your camera ready as the encounter is brief but spectacular.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🚢

Tokyo Bay

A sweeping view of the busy shipping lanes, the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line, and the industrial landscape of Kawasaki.

🏝️

Izu Peninsula

The rugged, mountainous coastline of the Izu Peninsula extending into the Pacific Ocean.

🌊

Suruga Bay

Views across Japan's deepest bay with its unique coastal formations and deep blue waters.

🏗️

Centrair Island

A clear view of the man-made island of Chubu Centrair International Airport as the plane banks for landing.

The left side is best for passengers who enjoy coastal geography and the Pacific horizon. It offers a great perspective of the airport's unique island structure during the final descent. Visibility is usually best during midday when the sun is overhead, reducing glare on the water.
