Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a scenic journey past the mountains of Taiwan and along the southern coast of Japan, climaxing with a spectacular view of Mount Fuji shortly before landing.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🏙️

Hong Kong Shoreline

Dramatic views of the Sai Kung Peninsula and the rugged coastline of the New Territories shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Northern Taiwan

Aerial perspectives of the Yangmingshan National Park and the densely populated Taipei basin.

🌊

Kyushu Coast

Scanning the southern tip of Japan with views of the Osumi Peninsula's jagged cliffs and greenery.

🗻

Mount Fuji

The iconic snow-capped peak is visible on the left side approximately 20 to 30 minutes before touchdown at Haneda.

🏙️

Yokohama Skyline

A close-up view of Japan's second-largest city and its massive industrial port during the final descent.

For the best experience, book a window seat on the left side (Seat A). Mount Fuji is the star attraction; it appears during the descent, so keep your camera ready about 25 minutes before landing. Morning flights generally offer the clearest air for mountain spotting, as clouds often form around the peak by the afternoon.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏝️

Ryukyu Islands

Distant glimpses of the coral-fringed islands that make up the northern part of the Okinawa chain.

🌋

Izu Islands

A unique look down at volcanic islands like Oshima and Toshima dotted across the Pacific Ocean.

🚢

Tokyo Bay

Vast panoramas of the shipping lanes filled with cargo ships and tankers entering the world's busiest bay.

🏖️

Boso Peninsula

The sandy beaches and rolling hills of Chiba prefecture are visible as the plane turns for its final approach.

🌅

Pacific Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the sunrise on early morning flights departing from Hong Kong.

The right side (Seat K) is excellent for observing the maritime activity of Tokyo Bay and the Chiba coastline. If you are on an early morning flight, this side will be bathed in the rising sun. During the final approach, look for the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line, a bridge-tunnel combination crossing the water.
