Mount Daisen
Tottori's highest peak, often called the Great Mountain, is visible almost immediately after takeoff.
Mount Chokai
A massive independent peak rising from the sea at the border of Akita and Yamagata.
Hakkoda Mountains
Dramatic volcanic mountain range in Aomori Prefecture near the northern tip of Honshu.
Tsugaru Strait
The narrow body of water separating Honshu and Hokkaido, visible as the plane crosses the gap.
Mount Komagatake
A distinctive active volcano overlooking Uchiura Bay as you enter Hokkaido airspace.
The right side is superior for mountain enthusiasts. For the best view of Mt. Daisen, be ready within 5 minutes of departure from YGJ. Morning flights offer the best lighting on the Tohoku coastline peaks. Watch for the dramatic transition from the jagged Honshu mountains to the vast plains of Hokkaido.

Sea of Japan
Expansive views of the deep blue Sea of Japan throughout the majority of the cruise.
Oki Islands
Volcanic islands visible shortly after departure off the coast of Shimane.
Mount Yotei
Known as the Mt. Fuji of Hokkaido, this perfect cone is often visible on the left during the descent into Sapporo.
Lake Shikotsu
A stunning caldera lake within Shikotsu-Toya National Park seen just before landing.
Sit on this side for afternoon or evening flights to experience stunning sunsets over the horizon. In winter, look for the 'sea of clouds' which often forms over the cold water. On the approach to New Chitose, keep an eye out for the rugged coastline of the Shakotan Peninsula in the distance.
