GUM → NRT
Which side of the plane to sit from Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport (Agana) to Narita International Airport (Tokyo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route because it offers views of the volcanic Izu Island chain and the iconic silhouette of Mount Fuji during the descent into Tokyo, especially on clear days.

Iwo Jima (Iwo To)
About midway through the flight, look for the distinct volcanic cone of Mount Suribachi on this historically significant island.
Izu Islands
As you approach Japan, the flight path often passes near Hachijojima and Mikurajima, showcasing dramatic volcanic cliffs and deep blue waters.
Mount Fuji
On the descent into Narita, look toward the west; on clear days, the snow-capped peak of Japan's most famous mountain is visible in the distance.
Tokyo Bay & Skytree
During certain landing patterns, you can catch a glimpse of the sprawling Tokyo metropolis and the towering Tokyo Skytree.
Philippine Sea
The majority of the flight crosses this deep blue expanse, often revealing scattered clouds and passing cargo ships.
Sit forward of the wing for an unobstructed view of Mount Fuji during the descent. For daytime flights, the sun will be on the left in the afternoon, so keep your window shade down until you reach the Japanese coastline to avoid glare. The best visibility for Fuji is typically during early morning arrivals or crisp winter days.

Northern Mariana Islands
Shortly after takeoff, you may see the northern islands of the Mariana archipelago, including the active volcanic island of Anatahan.
Ogasawara Islands
A UNESCO World Heritage site consisting of Chichijima and Hahajima, appearing as tiny emerald specs in the vast Pacific.
Kujukuri Beach
One of Japan's longest sandy beaches, stretching 60km along the Chiba coast, visible just minutes before touchdown.
Narita Countryside
The final approach offers a view of the lush golf courses and organized agricultural plots of the Chiba Prefecture.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and heat. Keep an eye out for the Ogasawara Islands about 2 hours into the flight. If the plane approaches from the north, the right side offers a closer look at the rural landscapes and forests of the Chiba region.
