Which side of the plane to sit from Noto Airport (Wajima) to Tokyo Haneda International Airport (Tokyo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior primarily for the high-altitude views of the sacred Mount Hakusan and the breathtaking, close-range passing of Mount Fuji during the descent into Tokyo.

Kanazawa City
Shortly after takeoff, look down to see the historical city of Kanazawa nestled between the mountains and the sea.
Mount Hakusan
A magnificent view of one of Japan's 'Three Holy Mountains,' featuring rugged volcanic terrain and alpine lakes.
Mount Fuji
The absolute highlight; as the plane descends toward Tokyo, Fuji-san appears majestically to the southwest.
Shonan Coastline
Views of Enoshima Island and the popular beaches of Sagami Bay as the flight vectors toward the Boso Peninsula.
Yokohama Skyline
A clear view of the Minato Mirai district and the Landmark Tower during the standard STAR arrival pattern.
The right side is the 'Fuji side.' To get the best view of the mountain, aim for a window seat slightly behind the wing to avoid engine glare. For afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Southern Alps and Mount Fuji. Be alert approximately 15-20 minutes before landing.

Toyama Bay
Exiting the Noto Peninsula offers a panoramic view of one of Japan's deepest bays, known for its unique marine life.
Northern Japanese Alps
Glance at the jagged peaks of the Hida Mountains, including Mount Tateyama, often covered in snow until early summer.
Tokyo Skytree
During the final approach into Haneda, the Skytree and the dense urban landscape of eastern Tokyo are visible.
Tokyo Bay Shipping Lanes
Watch the heavy maritime traffic and the massive industrial complexes lining the Chiba coastline.
Choose the left side for morning flights if you want to see the sunrise over the Sea of Japan. It provides a better perspective of the Northern Alps' ridge lines and the modern architecture of the Tokyo waterfront during the final seconds before touchdown.
