Naruto Strait
Catch a glimpse of the Ohnaruto Bridge and the swirling whirlpools between Shikoku and Awaji Island shortly after takeoff.
Osaka Bay
See the artificial islands of Kansai International Airport and the dense cityscape of Osaka and Kobe as you fly east.
Mount Fuji
The flight path typically passes just south of the peak, providing an unparalleled view of the northern slopes and the Five Lakes region.
Japanese Alps
On clear days, the towering, snow-capped peaks of the Southern and Central Alps are visible in the distance to the north.
Kanto Plain
The massive urban footprint of the Greater Tokyo Area unfolds as the aircraft begins its descent into Narita.
To see Mount Fuji, request a window seat on the left. It usually appears approximately 40 to 50 minutes after departure from Takamatsu. Morning flights are highly recommended because the sun illuminates the mountain's eastern face and visibility is generally better before afternoon clouds develop. During winter months, the air is much clearer, offering the sharpest views of the peaks.
