HND → ICN
Which side of the plane to sit from Tokyo Haneda International Airport (Tokyo) to Incheon International Airport (Seoul)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is highly recommended for its spectacular, close-up views of Mount Fuji and the snow-capped Japanese Alps during the first half of the flight.
Search flights from HND to ICN
Mount Fuji
The most iconic view of the flight; the aircraft typically passes just south of the peak, providing a majestic perspective.
Japanese Alps
A continuous chain of high-altitude peaks, including the Hida Mountains, often covered in snow.
Noto Peninsula
A unique geographic feature extending into the Sea of Japan, visible during the transition to the sea crossing.
Seoul Urban Sprawl
Dense urban clusters and the winding Han River as the plane descends toward Incheon.
Small Islands of the Yellow Sea
Dozens of tiny, rugged islands dot the coastline of South Korea during the final descent.
For the best view of Mount Fuji, sit on the right side and look out about 10-15 minutes after departure from Haneda. Morning flights are ideal as the air is clearer and the sun illuminates the eastern face of the mountain. In winter, the Japanese Alps are breathtakingly white and best viewed during midday.

Lake Biwa
Japan's largest freshwater lake is often visible in the distance when flying over central Honshu.
Incheon Grand Bridge
A magnificent view of the 21km-long cable-stayed bridge during the final approach into ICN.

The futuristic skyline of Incheon's smart city is visible just before touchdown.
Choose the left side for better views of the southern Japanese coastline and the impressive Incheon Bridge upon arrival. This side is particularly scenic during sunset flights as the light reflects off the Yellow Sea.
