Which side of the plane to sit from Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong) to Narita International Airport (Tokyo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is the preferred choice primarily for the iconic view of Mount Fuji during the approach to Tokyo, alongside the dramatic Japanese coastline.

Departure over Hong Kong
Aerial views of the Lantau Island mountains and the dense urban landscape of the New Territories shortly after takeoff.
Taiwanese Highlands
Depending on the flight path, the northern tip of Taiwan and its lush green mountain ranges are often visible.
Shikoku and Kii Peninsula
Scenic views of the rugged southern coastlines of Japan's Shikoku and Honshu islands as you head northeast.
Mount Fuji
The crown jewel of the flight; the perfectly symmetrical volcanic cone appears roughly 20 to 30 minutes before touchdown.
Sagami Bay
The deep blue waters leading into the Izu Peninsula and the surrounding volcanic islands.
To capture Mount Fuji, sit in the front or rear of the plane to avoid the wing. Fuji appears on the left side during the descent into Narita when approaching from the southwest. Winter months (December–February) offer the highest probability of clear, cloud-free views of the snow-capped peak, especially on morning flights.

Ryukyu Archipelago
Glimpses of the scattered islands of the Okinawa chain dotting the East China Sea.
Pacific Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the vast Pacific Ocean, which is particularly stunning during early morning sunrise flights.
Boso Peninsula
The rural agricultural landscapes and coastal cliffs of Chiba Prefecture during the final descent.
Tokyo Bay Entry
Distant views of the heavy maritime traffic and large cargo vessels entering the Tokyo Bay area.
The right side is ideal for passengers on early morning departures who want to witness the sunrise over the Pacific. While it misses the main mountain landmarks, it offers a more peaceful view of the ocean and the smaller islands of the Japanese archipelago. It is also better for viewing the Boso Peninsula coastline during certain landing patterns.
