The left side offers a superior view of the Guam coastline upon departure and a detailed panorama of the Japanese coastline, including the Boso Peninsula and the Kanto Plain, during the northern approach to Sendai.
Search flights from GUM to SDJ
Tumon Bay
Exquisite views of Guam's primary tourist district and white sand beaches immediately after takeoff from GUM.
Boso Peninsula
The first point of contact with mainland Japan, featuring the dramatic cliffs and rolling hills of Chiba Prefecture.
Kanto Basin
A distant but expansive view of the Tokyo metropolitan sprawl and the industrial zones along the coast.
Mt. Fuji (Distant)
On exceptionally clear days, the iconic volcanic peak can be spotted far to the west as the plane passes the Kanto region.
Fukushima Coastline
Aerial perspective of the coastal infrastructure and the reconstructed towns along the eastern seaboard of Honshu.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the Japanese mainland. If the flight is during the day, the sun will be on the right side of the aircraft for the majority of the northbound journey, meaning the left side will have better lighting and less glare for photography. Look out approximately 3.5 hours into the flight for the first sight of the Boso Peninsula.

Izu Islands
A chain of volcanic islands, including Hachijojima, visible as small emerald dots in the deep blue Philippine Sea.
Pacific Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the vast Pacific Ocean, offering beautiful light gradients during morning or evening flights.
Sendai Bay
Views of the busy shipping lanes and the large commercial vessels approaching the Port of Sendai during descent.
The right side is ideal if you prefer seeing the remote volcanic islands of the Izu chain. During morning flights, expect significant sun glare on this side. During the final approach into Sendai Airport (SDJ), the right side provides a great view of the Pacific coastline as the plane banks toward the runway.
