Search flights from SYO to HND
Mt. Gassan
The highest of the three mountains of Dewa, known for its lingering snowfields and spiritual significance.
Japanese Alps
Panoramic views of the snow-capped Hida and Kiso mountain ranges stretching across central Honshu.
Mt. Fuji
The majestic peak is frequently visible on the right side as the aircraft descends towards Tokyo, especially on clear days.
Shinjuku Skyline
On the 'South Wind' approach, get a close-up view of Tokyo's skyscraper district including the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building.
The right side is the 'Fuji side.' To ensure the best view of the mountain, choose a seat behind the wing to avoid engine glare. On clear winter days, the mountain visibility is at its peak. Be prepared for a sharp right turn into Haneda which provides a sweeping view of the city.

The intricate bridge and tunnel system crossing the bay, with numerous cargo ships dotting the water.
Sit on the left if you want to see the Tokyo Skytree and the industrial beauty of the Keihin region during landing. Early morning flights offer a beautiful sunrise over the Pacific if the route takes a more easterly path.
