Which side of the plane to sit from Hamad International Airport (Doha) to Tokyo Haneda International Airport (Tokyo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is the clear winner primarily for the iconic close-up view of Mount Fuji during the descent into Haneda, alongside dramatic views of the Tibetan Plateau and the rugged Hindu Kush mountains.
Search flights from DOH to HND
Persian Gulf
Clear views of the turquoise waters and the intricate artificial islands along the northern coast of the UAE shortly after takeoff.
Hindu Kush
Stunning, sharp-edged mountain peaks as the flight traverses the northern corridors of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Tibetan Plateau
The 'Roof of the World' offers a vast, high-altitude landscape of salt lakes and desolate, beautiful terrain.
Mount Fuji
The ultimate highlight; the snow-capped cone is visible on the left side during the descent when approaching Tokyo from the west.
Tokyo Bay
Panoramic views of the world's most populous metropolitan area and the busy shipping lanes of the bay on final approach.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see Mount Fuji; it usually appears 20–30 minutes before landing. For the morning DOH-HND flight, the sun will be on the right side, meaning the left side offers better lighting for photography with less glare and atmospheric haze. In winter, the Tibetan Plateau is particularly striking when covered in snow.

Dubai Skyline
A distant but spectacular view of the Burj Khalifa and the glowing lights of the UAE's coastal cities.
Himalayan Panorama
A massive, continuous wall of snow-capped peaks stretching along the southern horizon as the flight crosses into China.
Yangtze River
View the massive, winding silver ribbon of one of the world's longest rivers as it cuts through the Chinese heartland.
Seto Inland Sea
As you reach Japan, enjoy the beautiful sight of numerous small islands scattered between Shikoku and Honshu.
Kansai Lights
On night flights, the brilliant urban sprawl of Osaka, Kyoto, and Nagoya provides a mesmerizing light show.
The right side is superior if the flight path tracks further north, providing a southern-facing view of the entire Himalayan range. On night flights, this side offers incredible views of the densely populated Chinese and Japanese coastal cities. Be aware that during the day, this side can get quite warm and bright due to the southern sun exposure.
