While we were in Tokyo recently we wanted to find the most exciting way to go planespotting around Tokyo Haneda Airport (HND) — and we found it! Instead of sticking to the usual spots, we took a water taxi out onto Tokyo Bay to get up close to the runways. The views were incredible, with planes landing and taking off just above us! But it wasn’t easy to find, and you’ll get to come along with us in the video on the sometimes amusing journey to try and actually locate a water taxi that would take us out. At one point we definitely weren’t sure we’d pull it off.
After that, we headed to the Haneda Airport Observation Deck at Terminal 3 where we met fellow aviation fans and found that they were almost all using Flightradar24 while watching the airplanes – from hardcore plane spotter photographers to causal travelers just enjoying the day out. We managed to hand out a whole bunch of our very exclusive Flightradar24 keychains to some of these well-deserving users. Oh and we also managed a quick trip to a conbini (convenience store) for snacks.
In this video you’ll also properly meet Sophia who was along for the shoot in Tokyo, first on the inaugural ANA flight from Stockholm ARN to Tokyo HND, NH222, and then creating content on this very fun couple of days out around Tokyo on the hunt for aviation adventures.
