Which side of the plane to sit from Jeju International Airport (Cheju) to Narita International Airport (Tokyo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is the premier choice for this route, offering a spectacular view of Mount Fuji, the islands of the Seto Inland Sea, and the sprawling Kansai metropolitan area.
Hallasan Mountain
Aerial view of South Korea's highest peak and its central crater shortly after departure from Jeju.
Seto Inland Sea
A stunning view of the archipelago between Honshu and Shikoku, featuring thousands of tiny islands.
Kansai Urban Sprawl
Bird's-eye view of Osaka, Kobe, and the unique man-made island of Kansai International Airport.
Mount Fuji
The iconic snow-capped cone is visible on the left side roughly 30 to 45 minutes before landing at Narita.
Tokyo Cityscape
As the flight approaches Chiba, the dense skyscrapers of Tokyo and the SkyTree can often be seen in the distance.
Book a window seat on the left for the best Mount Fuji views. Winter months (December-February) provide the highest probability of clear skies. For morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so be prepared for some glare, but the lighting on the mountain is often best before noon.
Jeju South Coast
View the dramatic volcanic cliffs of Seogwipo and the clear blue waters of the East China Sea.
Kii Peninsula
The deep, forested ridges and remote coastline of Japan's largest peninsula, home to ancient pilgrimage routes.
Izu Islands
A volcanic island chain stretching into the Pacific, including the smoking peak of Oshima.
Boso Peninsula Coast
The rugged Pacific coastline of Chiba with its small fishing ports and dramatic waves.
Tokyo Bay Entrance
Heavy maritime traffic and cargo ships entering one of the world's busiest ports near the end of the flight.
The right side offers a more relaxed, glare-free view of the Pacific Ocean on morning flights. It is the better side for viewing the southern coastline of Honshu and the Izu Islands. During descent, look for the coastal golf courses and rural landscapes of Chiba Prefecture.
