The right side offers the most iconic scenery on this route, most notably a spectacular view of Mount Fuji and the Tokyo Bay coastline during the descent into Narita.
Search flights from ICN to NRT
Han River
Aerial view of the winding river passing through southern Seoul and Gyeonggi province.
Noto Peninsula
The distinct hook-shaped landmass of Ishikawa Prefecture as the flight reaches Japan.
Mount Fuji
The undisputed highlight; the majestic volcano is clearly visible roughly 30-40 minutes before landing.
Tokyo Bay
Vibrant industrial ports, shipping lanes, and the Aqua-Line bridge near the Boso Peninsula.
Chiba Countryside
A patchwork of rice paddies and rural landscapes during the final approach into Narita.
This is the 'Fuji Side'. To get the best view of the mountain, aim for a window seat either ahead of or well behind the wing to avoid engine heat blur. Late afternoon flights are particularly beautiful as the sun sets behind the peak. Visibility is highest from November to February.

Seoul Metropolis
Dense urban sprawl of Incheon and the greater Seoul area shortly after takeoff.
Taebaek Mountains
The rugged mountain spine of the eastern Korean Peninsula before crossing the sea.
Sea of Japan
A vast expanse of blue water separating the Korean and Japanese landmasses.
Northern Japanese Alps
Dramatic, often snow-capped peaks of the Hida and Kiso mountain ranges.
Mount Tsukuba
A prominent twin-peaked mountain that stands out over the Kanto Plain during descent.
Sit on the left for softer morning light and clear views of the Taebaek Mountains. It is also excellent for viewing the Noto Peninsula coastline as the plane enters Japanese airspace. During winter, the Japanese Alps provide a stunning white landscape on this side.
