Which side of the plane to sit from Takamatsu Airport (Takamatsu) to Tokyo Haneda International Airport (Tokyo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the iconic and most sought-after view of Mount Fuji as the plane approaches the Kanto region, alongside beautiful coastal vistas of the Seto Inland Sea.
Seto Inland Sea
Aerial views of the countless small islands dotting the water between Shikoku and Honshu shortly after takeoff.
Lake Biwa
On clear days, Japan's largest freshwater lake is visible to the north as the flight crosses near the Kansai region.
Mount Fuji
The flight path typically stays south of the peak, providing a majestic, close-up view of the snow-capped volcano on the left.
Tokyo Metropolis
As the plane descends into Haneda, the sprawling urban landscape of Yokohama and Tokyo, including Tokyo Tower, comes into view.
Tokyo Skytree
Often visible during the final approach patterns, standing tall above the Sumida River area.
Book a window seat on the left (A seats) for the best chance to see Mount Fuji. The mountain appears roughly 45-50 minutes into the flight. Morning flights offer the crispest air for photography, while late afternoon flights provide beautiful golden hour lighting on the slopes of Fuji.
Kii Peninsula
Rugged, densely forested mountain ranges and the sacred Kumano Kodo region visible as you cross the peninsula.
Ise Bay
A wide view of the industrial and port areas around Nagoya and the Shima Peninsula coastline.
Izu Oshima
The volcanic island of Oshima and other Izu islands are often visible in the Pacific Ocean during the descent.
Tokyo Bay Traffic
Observation of numerous cargo ships and tankers entering and leaving one of the world's busiest ports.
Boso Peninsula
Depending on the landing route, the green hills and cliffs of Chiba Prefecture provide a scenic backdrop to the final descent.
Choose the right side (K seats) if you prefer ocean views and volcanic islands. This side is particularly interesting during winter when the air is clear enough to see deep into the Pacific. Look for the 'Umi-hotaru' parking area in the middle of the Aqua-Line bridge-tunnel just before landing.
