Views depend on the aircraft and the height at which they fly, but flights that pass close to the mountain allow passengers to see the caldera. Looking down on Mount Fuji from above provides an unusual view of the mountain.

Although this will differ slightly depending on things such as the type of aircraft, winds, and runway used for takeoff from Haneda Airport, you will be able to see Mt. Fuji about 10 to 15 minutes after takeoff.

On routes where aircraft fly almost directly over Mt. Fuji, hardly any of the mountain can be seen from the plane windows. For flights departing from Haneda Airport, this applies to routes flying to such airports as Kumamoto and Oita airport.

Depending on your flight path, you may be able to get a rare top-down view of Mt. Fuji from the left side of the plane.

As there is generally less moisture in the air in winter, the air is clearer than in summer. Mt. Fuji is therefore probably more clearly visible in winter. On cloudy days, however, Mt. Fuji will be difficult to see, regardless of the season.

You can see snowcapped Mt. Fuji from about late October to early June.

When there are clear skies around Mt. Fuji, you'll be able to see the Fuji Five Lakes as well as sights including the Izu Peninsula and Miho no Matsubara. On flights departing from Haneda Airport, the Southern Alps will come into view about five minutes after passing by Mt. Fuji.

This depends on the aircraft and the altitude required to ensure safety, but altitudes will be between two and three times the height of Mt. Fuji.

Seats that have no windows or that sit directly on top of the wings make it difficult to see the outside scenery. (When reserving a seat, you can check if the seat has no window or sits on the wings.)
