Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Tokyo to Oita. While takeoff offers impressive views of Tokyo and the Kanto Plain, the landing approach provides more varied and visually distinctive scenery—the Seto Inland Sea's island-studded waters, the Kii Peninsula's mountains, and Beppu Bay create a more geographically interesting descent than the relatively flat Kanto landscape during climb-out.

During takeoff from New Tokyo International (NRT), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats capture the Kanto Plain and Tokyo Bay as the aircraft climbs southwestward.

As you descend toward Oita, the left side reveals the Kii Peninsula's forested mountains, the Seto Inland Sea's island-dotted waters, and eventually the Oita coastal plains and Beppu Bay. Notable sights include: Seto Inland Sea with scattered islands, Kii Peninsula mountains, Beppu Bay, Oita coastal plains.

The flight from New Tokyo International (NRT) to Oita (OIT) takes Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Izu Peninsula (visible as a mountainous protrusion south of Tokyo), then passes over the Pacific coast of central Honshu. The Kii Peninsula's forested mountains dominate the mid-flight view, with the Kii Channel separating it from Shikoku. The Seto Inland Sea's numerous islands and narrow straits become increasingly prominent as the aircraft descends toward Kyushu, offering a striking view of Japan's complex island geography.
