Mount Fuji
The most iconic view of the trip, appearing on the right approximately 15 minutes after takeoff.
Southern Alps
The snow-capped peaks of the Akaishi Mountains in central Honshu.
Sakurajima
The famous active volcano in Kagoshima visible as the flight traverses southern Kyushu.
Amami Oshima
Beautiful coral reefs and emerald waters of the Ryukyu Island chain.
Yangmingshan
The lush green volcanic mountains of northern Taipei during the final descent into Songshan.
Request a window seat on the right (K seats) and aim for a morning flight (before 10:00 AM) to maximize the chances of a cloud-free view of Mt. Fuji. Ensure you sit clear of the wing (rows 1-10 or 25+) for unobstructed photography of the Japanese coastline and the final approach over Taipei's northern districts.

A string of volcanic islands including Oshima and Niijima scattered across the Pacific Ocean.
Pacific Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Philippine Sea and the Kuroshio Current.
Keelung Harbor
The busy port city and rocky northern coastline of Taiwan visible during the descent.
Taipei 101
The iconic skyscraper is often visible to the south when the aircraft enters the Taipei Basin.
Taipei Cityscape
A bird's-eye view of the dense urban grid of Taipei during the low-altitude final approach.
Choose the left side (A seats) to avoid direct sunlight during midday flights heading southwest. This side is also superior for viewing the Taipei city center and Taipei 101 during the final moments of landing if the aircraft approaches from the east, which is the standard pattern.
