Which side of the plane to sit from Narita International Airport (Tokyo) to Oita Airport (Oita)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for this domestic route as it provides an unparalleled view of Mount Fuji shortly after departure, along with the dense urban sprawl of Tokyo and the scenic Seto Inland Sea region.

Tokyo Cityscape
Spectacular views of Tokyo Tower, Skytree, and the massive urban density of the Kanto Plain.
Mount Fuji
The star attraction; the aircraft typically passes south of the peak, offering a clear view of the cone and crater.
Lake Hamana
A large, distinctively shaped brackish lagoon located in Shizuoka Prefecture.
Ise Bay
The busy maritime routes leading to the industrial heart of Nagoya.
Shikoku Mountains
Deep valleys and ridges of the Shikoku range as the plane traverses the island's northern spine.
Beppu Bay
Approaching Oita, see the steam rising from the famous hot springs of Beppu in the distance.
Book a window seat on the right and look out about 15 to 20 minutes after takeoff to see Mount Fuji. Winter months provide the highest probability of clear, cloudless views of the mountain. Ensure your camera is ready early, as the Fuji pass happens quickly at cruising speed.

The rugged, forested coastline of Wakayama and the sacred mountains of Kumano.

The sharp geographical point where Shikoku meets the Pacific Ocean.
Pacific Horizon
Expansive blue vistas that are particularly stunning during late afternoon flights with the sun reflecting off the water.
The left side offers better lighting for photography during afternoon flights to avoid direct glare. It is the quieter side for views, focusing on the vastness of the Pacific and the southern tips of Japan's major islands.
