Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is the definitive choice for this route, offering a majestic close-up view of the Japanese Alps shortly after takeoff and a spectacular perspective of Mount Fuji during the descent toward Tokyo.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏔️

Northern Japanese Alps

Incredible views of Mount Tateyama and the rugged peaks of the Chubu region right after takeoff.

💧

Lake Suwa

The distinctive circular lake in Nagano Prefecture is often visible nestled between mountain ranges.

🗻

Mount Fuji

The undisputed highlight of the flight; the iconic snow-capped cone appears on the right side mid-flight.

🏖️

Sagami Bay

Beautiful views of the Shonan coastline, Enoshima Island, and the Miura Peninsula during descent.

🏢

Yokohama Skyline

Clear views of the Landmark Tower and the Minato Mirai waterfront district as the plane nears Haneda.

✈️

Haneda D-Runway

A unique overhead perspective of the airport's pier-like runway structure just seconds before landing.

The right side is essential for seeing Mount Fuji. Aim for morning flights (before 10:00 AM) for the highest chance of cloud-free mountain views. In winter, the snow cover on the Alps and Fuji is significantly more photogenic. Be ready with your camera about 15-20 minutes after takeoff for the best Fuji shots.

Left Side Highlights
7.3
🏔️

Tateyama Mountain Range

Dramatic views of the Northern Japanese Alps immediately after departing Toyama Airport.

🏙️

Kanto Plain

A sprawling view of the world's most populous metropolitan area as you cross into the Kanto region.

🗼

Tokyo Skytree

Often visible in the distance when the aircraft makes its final approach turn over Chiba toward Haneda.

⚓

Chiba Coastline

Industrial ports and urban residential layouts of the Boso Peninsula during the final descent.

🌊

Tokyo Bay

Panoramic views of the busy shipping lanes and the Aqua-Line bridge-tunnel just before touchdown.

Sit on the left if you want to see the expansive urban sprawl of Tokyo and Chiba. This side is particularly beautiful during evening flights when the city lights create a vast glowing carpet. For morning flights, you will enjoy a bright view of the Northern Alps as the sun illuminates the eastern slopes.
