Which side of the plane to sit from Khabarovsk-Novy Airport (Khabarovsk) to Narita International Airport (Tokyo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Japanese mainland upon entry, including the dramatic Japanese Alps and the iconic peak of Mount Fuji during the descent into the Kanto region.
Khabarovsk Cityscape
A clear view of the city of Khabarovsk and its industrial infrastructure during the initial climb.
Sea of Japan
A vast crossing over the sea separating the Russian mainland from the Japanese archipelago.
Japanese Alps
Dramatic, often snow-capped peaks of central Honshu visible as the flight tracks south.
Mount Fuji
The most iconic sight of Japan, frequently visible in the distance to the southwest during the descent.
Kanto Plain
The sprawling urban density of the Greater Tokyo Area as the aircraft descends toward Narita.
The right side is highly recommended for the chance to spot Mount Fuji. On clear days, the mountain is visible about 20-30 minutes before landing. Ensure you have your camera ready as the plane descends over the Kanto region.
Amur River Delta
Aerial view of the massive Amur River system winding through the Khabarovsk landscape shortly after takeoff.
Sikhote-Alin Range
The dense, mountainous wilderness of the Russian Far East, home to the Siberian tiger.
Hokkaido Coastline
Distant views of the western shores of Japan's northernmost island across the Sea of Japan.
Kujukuri Beach
The long, curved sandy coastline of Chiba Prefecture visible during the final approach to Narita.
Pacific Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Pacific Ocean as the plane aligns for its landing pattern.
Sit on the left for the best morning light if taking an early flight, as the sun will be behind you or to the side. It offers great views of the Chiba coastline during the standard northern approach to Narita Airport.
