Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides the most iconic views, specifically the majestic Mount Fuji and the vast urban landscape of the Tokyo metropolitan area as you approach Ibaraki.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Yangtze River Estuary

View the massive silt-laden waters of the Yangtze delta meeting the clear blue East China Sea shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Japanese Southern Alps

Distant views of the snow-capped peaks of central Honshu, including some of Japan's highest mountains.

🌋

Mount Fuji

The quintessential view of Japan's most famous peak, visible on the left side during the descent toward the Kanto region.

🏙️

Greater Tokyo Area

The endless urban sprawl of the world's most populous metropolitan area stretching toward the horizon.

⛰️

Mount Tsukuba

A distinctive double-peaked mountain that serves as a landmark for the final approach into Hyakuri Airport.

Book an 'A' window seat for the best panoramic views. Mount Fuji typically appears roughly 30 to 45 minutes before landing. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft, providing perfect lighting for photography of the landscape.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🏝️

Goto Islands

The first glimpse of Japanese territory, featuring rugged island coastlines in the East China Sea.

🗾

Izu Peninsula

A beautiful view of the mountainous peninsula known for its dramatic cliffs and hot spring towns.

🌋

Izu Oshima

A large active volcanic island in the Pacific Ocean with a visible central caldera.

🚢

Tokyo Bay

Observe the heavy maritime traffic, industrial ports, and the impressive Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line bridge.

🌲

Boso Peninsula

Green hills and coastal scenery of Chiba Prefecture as the plane turns north toward Ibaraki.

The right side ('F' or 'K' seats) is excellent for viewing the Pacific coastline and volcanic islands. This side is preferable on morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare, allowing for a clearer view of the deep blue ocean and coastal geography.
