Which side of the plane to sit from Kaohsiung International Airport (Kaohsiung) to Narita International Airport (Tokyo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior scenic experience, featuring the dramatic Central Mountain Range of Taiwan shortly after takeoff and the iconic silhouette of Mount Fuji during the approach into Tokyo.
Central Mountain Range
Dramatic views of Taiwan's highest peaks, including Yushan, shortly after departing Kaohsiung.
Taipei Skyline
A distant view of Taipei 101 and the urban sprawl of northern Taiwan as the flight heads north.
Sakurajima Volcano
Visible as the flight passes the southern tip of Kyushu, often trailing a plume of volcanic ash.
Mount Fuji
The definitive highlight of the route, appearing approximately 30-40 minutes before landing at Narita.
Tokyo Metropolis
Panoramic views of the world's largest city and the Tokyo Skytree during the initial descent.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see Mount Fuji. On clear days, the peak is most visible on morning flights before clouds build up. During the winter months, the snow-capped peak is particularly striking. Ensure your window is clean as the sun will be behind you for much of the northbound journey, reducing glare.
Pacific Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Philippine Sea and the transition to the Pacific Ocean.
Okinawa & Ryukyu Islands
Bird's-eye views of emerald coral reefs and white sand beaches of the southern Japanese islands.
Tokyo Bay Traffic
Hundreds of cargo ships and tankers queued up near the entrance to one of the world's busiest ports.
Boso Peninsula
The rugged coastline and lush golf courses of Chiba prefecture during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for island lovers. Look out for the distinct turquoise rings of the Ryukyu chain mid-flight. If the aircraft approaches Narita from the south over the ocean, you will get a great view of the Kujukuri Beach coastline. Afternoon flights may experience more sun glare on this side.
