[Experience Concept]

This sightseeing flight experience, aboard a special charter flight departing from and returning to Shizuoka Airport, allows you to view the summit of Mount Fuji from nearly the same altitude.

You’ll approach as close as nearly 5,000 meters—an altitude unreachable by helicopter—to enjoy an exclusive aerial view of this symbol of Japan.

You’ll also take in panoramic views of Shizuoka’s majestic natural landscapes, including Suruga Bay, the Southern Alps, and the Izu Peninsula, which reveal different facets throughout the four seasons.
