Which side of the plane to sit from Yamaguchi Ube Airport (Yamaguchi) to Tokyo Haneda International Airport (Tokyo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is the definitive choice for this route, offering a majestic and close-up view of Mount Fuji and the Japanese Alps before descending into the Tokyo metropolis.
Seto Inland Sea
Breathtaking views of the 'Aegean of the East' with its thousands of tiny, pine-covered islands.
Lake Biwa
Japan's largest freshwater lake is often visible to the north as the plane passes the Kansai region.
The Southern Alps
Dramatic, snow-capped peaks of the Akaishi Mountains visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Mount Fuji
The undisputed highlight; the iconic volcano appears prominently on the left approximately 20 minutes before arrival.
Tokyo Cityscape
As the flight enters the Kanto Plain, witness the massive urban sprawl including Shinjuku and Tokyo Skytree.
Sit on the left side and aim for a seat in front of the wing for an unobstructed view of Mount Fuji. The mountain is most visible on morning flights before clouds typically form around the peak. In winter, the air is much clearer, offering visibility of the Japan Alps further inland.
Shikoku Mountains
Views across the water to the rugged, forested mountain ranges of northern Shikoku island.
Awaji Island
The large island bridging the gap between Shikoku and the mainland near Kobe.
Kii Peninsula
The deep greens of the UNESCO-recognized Kumano Kodo region and the jagged Wakayama coastline.
Ise Bay
A view of the bustling maritime traffic and the coastal industrial zones near Nagoya.
Izu Peninsula
The dramatic volcanic coastline and the chain of Izu Islands stretching into the Pacific Ocean.
The right side is ideal for passengers who enjoy coastal and maritime scenery. It provides excellent views of the Pacific coastline and the industrial heart of Japan. If flying during the late afternoon, this side receives the warm 'golden hour' light, which is perfect for photographing the Izu Islands.
