Which side of the plane to sit from Gimpo International Airport (Seoul) to Tokyo Haneda International Airport (Tokyo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is iconic for providing the closest and most spectacular view of Mount Fuji during the descent into Haneda, alongside beautiful coastal scenery of the Japanese main island.
Search flights from GMP to HND
Mount Fuji
The absolute highlight of the trip; the aircraft usually passes just north of the peak, providing a majestic close-up view.
Enoshima & Sagami Bay
Beautiful coastal views of the Shonan area and the silhouette of Enoshima Island during the base leg of the approach.
Tokyo Bay
Views of the busy shipping lanes, the Aqua-Line bridge-tunnel, and the industrial landscape of the Kawasaki waterfront.
Southern Korean Coast
Depending on the specific airway, you may see the complex rias coastline of South Korea's southern provinces.
The right side is essential for seeing Mount Fuji. For the best photography, book a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view. During the winter months, Fuji's snow cap is most prominent, and afternoon flights (14:00-16:00) offer the most dramatic 'golden hour' lighting on the mountain's slopes.

Seoul Cityscape
Panoramic views of the Han River, Lotte World Tower, and the sprawling metropolitan area of Seoul immediately after takeoff.
Taebaek Mountains
The rugged mountain range that forms the backbone of the Korean Peninsula, offering dramatic terrain before the sea crossing.
Japanese Alps
Spectacular snow-capped peaks of the Hida and Kiso mountain ranges visible as the aircraft crosses into central Japan.
Tokyo Skytree
As the plane aligns for Haneda, the world's tallest tower is often visible to the north against the Tokyo skyline.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. It offers better views of the Northern Japanese Alps and the dense urban grid of Northern Tokyo during the final approach.
