Amami Oshima
Shortly after departure from Naha, view the stunning coral reefs and turquoise waters surrounding the northern Ryukyu Islands.
Mount Fuji
The crown jewel of the flight; looking north-northwest, you can see the iconic symmetrical cone of Japan's tallest peak during the mid-flight cruise.
Japanese Alps
Dramatic views of the snow-capped Southern and Central Alps as the flight path crosses the main island of Honshu.
Mount Bandai
As you enter the Tohoku region, the rugged peak of Mount Bandai and the sapphire waters of Lake Inawashiro are visible.
To see Mount Fuji, look out the window approximately 70-90 minutes after takeoff. Choose a morning flight (before 10:00 AM) for the highest probability of clear skies, as clouds frequently gather around the mountains by mid-afternoon. In winter, the snow-covered peaks of the Alps are exceptionally vivid against the blue sky.

Izu Islands
The volcanic chain extending south from Tokyo, including Oshima and Toshima, can be spotted dotting the ocean surface.
Boso Peninsula
The sweeping coastline of Chiba Prefecture and the rugged cliffs of the Pacific side of Honshu.
Matsushima Bay
Ranked as one of Japan's three most scenic views, the hundreds of pine-clad islands are visible during the final descent into Sendai.
The right side is the prime choice for the final 10 minutes of the flight. As the aircraft descends into Sendai Airport, the plane often maneuvers over the coast, offering a bird's-eye view of the world-famous Matsushima Bay. During sunset flights, this side offers beautiful golden reflections off the Pacific waters.
