The flight from New Tokyo International (NRT) to Hiroshima (HIJ) takes Approximately 75-85 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Kanto Plain, then transitions over the Izu Peninsula and the Pacific coast. Mid-flight, you'll pass over or near the Izu Islands (visible as small landmasses in the ocean if conditions are clear). As the aircraft approaches Hiroshima, it descends over the Seto Inland Sea, where hundreds of small islands create a distinctive fragmented seascape. The Chugoku Mountains form the southern boundary of this inland sea and are visible as a forested ridge throughout the approach.
