Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is the preferred choice for this route, offering a high probability of viewing Mount Fuji on the descent into Tokyo and better vistas of the Philippine archipelago during the cruise phase.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏙️

Jakarta Skyline

Aerial view of the Indonesian capital's dense urban landscape and coastal development immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

Palawan & Luzon

Stunning views of the emerald islands and white sand coastlines of the western Philippines during the mid-flight segment.

🗻

Mount Fuji

The iconic snow-capped peak is typically visible on the left side approximately 20 to 30 minutes before landing at Haneda.

🎡

Tokyo Bay & Disney

Clear views of the Tokyo Disney Resort and the bustling maritime traffic within the bay during the final approach.

Select a window seat on the left (usually 'A') for the best chance to see Mount Fuji. On daytime flights, the sun will be on the opposite side during the latter half of the journey, providing excellent lighting for photography of the Japanese coastline. Ensure you are awake at least 45 minutes before landing to catch the transition from sea to land.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Java Sea Islands

Dotted tropical islands and coral reefs scattered across the Java Sea shortly after departure from Jakarta.

🌴

Borneo Coastline

Vast stretches of the Kalimantan coastline and dense tropical river systems visible during the early cruise phase.

🌅

Pacific Sunrise

For overnight flights, the right side offers a spectacular unobstructed view of the sun rising over the Pacific Ocean.

🚢

Boso Peninsula

The rugged cliffs, lighthouses, and coastal towns of Chiba Prefecture as the aircraft banks toward Tokyo Bay.

The right side ('K' seats) is ideal for passengers on the overnight redeye flights who want to witness the sunrise over the Pacific. During landing, this side provides a great perspective of the Tokyo Bay Aqualine (the bridge-tunnel combo) and the industrial architecture of the Kawasaki and Yokohama waterfronts.
