Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unparalleled sequence of Japan's most iconic volcanic peaks, starting with Mt. Daisen immediately after departure and concluding with a magnificent close-up of Mt. Fuji during the descent into Haneda.

Right Side Highlights
9.5
🏔️

Mt. Daisen

Known as Hoki Fuji, this massive volcanic peak is visible almost immediately after lifting off from Yonago.

🏙️

Osaka and Kobe

Wide views of the Kansai urban sprawl and the busy shipping lanes of Osaka Bay to the south.

🗻

Mt. Fuji

The definitive highlight of the route; the aircraft typically passes just south of the summit for a majestic profile view.

🏝️

Enoshima Island

The picturesque island and the popular beaches of the Shonan coast visible during the descent.

🚢

Tokyo Bay

A view of the Aqua-Line bridge-tunnel and heavy maritime traffic just before touchdown at Haneda Airport.

The right side is the 'Fuji Side' for this route. To avoid the sun's glare, afternoon flights are best for photography. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before arrival for Mt. Fuji, and watch for Mt. Daisen within the first 5 minutes of flight. High-pressure weather systems in winter provide the clearest views of the snow-capped peaks.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Sea of Japan Coastline

Striking views of the Tottori coast and the jagged shoreline of the San'in region shortly after takeoff.

🏜️

Tottori Sand Dunes

The vast golden expanse of Japan's most famous sand dunes visible as the plane tracks east.

💧

Lake Biwa

A massive perspective of Japan's largest freshwater lake situated in Shiga Prefecture during the mid-flight phase.

🏔️

Central Japanese Alps

The high-altitude peaks of the Chubu region providing a dramatic mountain backdrop to the north.

🏙️

Tokyo Cityscape

A sprawling view of the Kanto Plain and the dense urban architecture of western Tokyo on the final approach.

Choose the left side for soft morning light on the Sea of Japan. This side is also preferable if the flight path enters Haneda from the north, offering a clear view of the Tokyo Skytree and the Sumida River district.
