Kumano Coastline
Dramatic rugged cliffs and turquoise waters of the Kii Peninsula visible immediately after takeoff from Shirahama.
Ise-Shima Peninsula
The intricate rias coastline and numerous small islands famous for pearl cultivation and the Ise Grand Shrine area.
Mount Fuji
The absolute highlight; the plane typically passes south of the peak, providing a majestic view of the snow-capped volcano.
Yokohama Skyline
Clear views of the Minato Mirai district, Landmark Tower, and the massive container terminals of Yokohama Port.
Central Tokyo
As the flight aligns with Haneda's runways, see the dense urban sprawl including Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree.
Sit on the left (Seat A) for the most iconic view of Mount Fuji about 30-40 minutes into the flight. Morning flights are best as the sun illuminates the southern face of the mountain. In winter, visibility is significantly higher, often revealing the peak even on slightly hazy days.
