Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular front-row seat to Mount Fuji shortly after takeoff from Haneda, followed by the scenic interior of Japan and the lush Red River Delta upon arrival in Vietnam.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
πŸ—»

Mount Fuji

The most iconic view of the trip; the majestic cone is clearly visible on the right about 15-20 minutes after departure.

πŸ”οΈ

Japanese Alps

Soaring views over the snow-capped peaks of the Southern and Central Alps of Honshu.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Seto Inland Sea

A beautiful patchwork of thousands of small islands nestled between the main islands of Japan.

πŸŒ‹

Kyushu Volcanoes

Aerial perspective of the active volcanic landscapes and craters in the southern Kyushu region.

🌾

Red River Delta

A mesmerizing grid of bright green rice paddies and winding brown rivers during the descent into Hanoi.

A window seat on the right is essential for Mount Fuji. For the best photos, aim for a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. The descent into Hanoi offers great views of rural Vietnamese life, so keep your camera ready for the final 20 minutes.

Left Side Highlights

🌊

Izu Peninsula

Aerial views of the rugged coastline and the chain of volcanic Izu Islands scattered in the Pacific.

🏝️

Ryukyu Archipelago

Deep blue ocean views with occasional sightings of the turquoise reefs surrounding the Okinawa island chain.

πŸ–οΈ

Hainan South Coast

The tropical beaches and high-rise resort developments of Sanya at the southern tip of China.

🚀

Ha Long Bay

Distant views of the iconic limestone karsts rising from the emerald waters of the Gulf of Tonkin.

Choose this side on morning flights to keep the sun behind you. It is particularly good for spotting the remote island chains of southern Japan when the flight path stays further offshore.
