A few years ago, in the post ANA Tokyo Haneda-Beijing NH961 Flight Report (Part 1), I introduced the scenery after takeoff from Runway 34R. At that time, I was seated on the left side; this time, I will supplement it with the view from the right window. Of course, in terms of scenery, the left side offers views of downtown Tokyo and Disney, making it much better than the right side.

This flight uses the Rover One Departure procedure. Immediately after takeoff, turn right towards TORAM, then fly to PLUTO, and then head all the way north.

After the aircraft lifts off and turns right, the artificial island comes into view.

The central part of this artificial island is called the "Central Breakwater" (Chūō Bōtei). It has existed for a long time as a breakwater for Tokyo Port. Later, continuous land reclamation formed the current two artificial islands. The islands are mainly home to cargo terminals and waste treatment facilities.

Looking down again, the famous Jonanjima and Jonanjima Seaside Park are directly below. It is truly rare to capture them so clearly from this angle. I also introduced Jonanjima in the article Scenery Before and After Landing at Haneda Runway 22. You can compare the two.

The aircraft flies over the artificial island; let’s take a look at the details.

Looking back at Haneda Airport, the nearby Jonanjima, the approach lights for Runway 22 stretching out to sea, the first and second terminals, and several distinct landmarks are all clearly visible. I previously introduced viewing the airport from the sea; I once took a boat and shot aircraft from under these approach light structures.

Runways A, B, C, and D are all clearly visible. This position is roughly on the extension line of Runway 04/22, likely near TORAM.

Next, the aircraft passes PLUTO and turns north. The Kaihin Makuhari area—there are already several articles on this site introducing this place.

By the way, it was a cloudy day with thick cloud layers, so after reaching a certain altitude, the ground was completely out of view…
