Search flights from TOY to CTS
Northern Alps
Spectacular views of the Tateyama mountain range and snow-capped peaks shortly after takeoff.
Mount Iwaki
The isolated, symmetrical cone known as 'Tsugaru Fuji' in Aomori Prefecture.
Lake Towada
A brilliant blue double-caldera lake situated on the border of Akita and Aomori.
Mount Yotei
Hokkaido's most iconic volcano, perfectly visible during the approach to Sapporo.
Lake Shikotsu
One of Japan's clearest and deepest lakes, located just south of New Chitose Airport.
The right side is highly recommended for photographers. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Northern Alps. In winter, the snow-covered volcanic peaks of Tohoku are breathtaking. Aim for a window seat away from the wing to fully capture Lake Towada and Mount Yotei during the descent.

Toyama Bay
Deep-water bay views immediately after departure, known for its unique marine life.
Noto Peninsula
The rugged silhouette of the peninsula extending into the Sea of Japan to the west.
Oga Peninsula
The distinctive circular landform of Akita Prefecture protruding into the sea.
Tsugaru Strait
The maritime boundary and crossing point between Japan's main island and Hokkaido.
Uchiura Bay
The vast 'Volcano Bay' of southern Hokkaido visible during the initial descent phase.
Choose the left side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Sea of Japan. On clear days, you may catch a glimpse of the remote Sado Island in the distance. This side is generally more relaxing with vast oceanic horizons and coastal outlines.
