Which side of the plane to sit from Asahikawa Airport (Asahikawa) to Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (Taipei)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of Hokkaido's famous patchwork hills at takeoff, the majestic Japanese Alps, and the scenic northern coastline of Taiwan upon arrival.
Biei Patchwork Hills
The iconic rolling agricultural landscapes of Biei and Furano visible right after takeoff.
Northern Alps
Spectacular views of the Hida Mountains, often snow-capped, during the Honshu transit.
Noto Peninsula
The unique geographic hook of the Noto region extending into the Sea of Japan.
Mount Daisen
A massive volcanic peak visible as the flight passes the Chugoku region coastal area.
Yangmingshan
The lush, volcanic greenery of the national park north of Taipei during the landing approach.
Ideal for afternoon flights to watch the sun set over the Sea of Japan. Pay close attention during the first 10 minutes for the famous Biei hills and the last 15 minutes for the dramatic northern Taiwan coastline.
Daisetsuzan National Park
Expansive views of Hokkaido's largest national park and its volcanic peaks shortly after departure.
Tohoku Coastline
The rugged eastern edge of Honshu meeting the deep blue Pacific Ocean.
Mount Fuji
The iconic peak is often visible in the distance on clear days during the Honshu transit.
Kanto Plain
The massive urban sprawl of the Greater Tokyo Area visible during the mid-flight transition.
Ryukyu Islands
Small, coral-fringed islands appearing as dots in the East China Sea during the final leg.
Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Pacific. It is the better side for spotting the distant but unmistakable shape of Mount Fuji during the middle third of the journey.
