Mount Fuji
The crown jewel of the flight; the iconic snow-capped peak is typically visible as you pass the Kanto region.
Japanese Alps
Dramatic, rugged mountain ranges of central Honshu visible during the mid-portion of the flight.
Tokyo & Yokohama
The sprawling urban landscape of the world's largest metropolitan area visible in the distance.
Sakurajima
One of Japan's most active volcanoes may be spotted as the flight passes southern Kyushu.
Taipei Skyline
On the final approach into Taoyuan, you may get a distant glimpse of Taipei 101 and the city basin.
The right side is the clear winner for scenic variety. Mount Fuji usually appears about 1.5 to 2 hours after departure from Kushiro. For the best views of the mountains, choose a window seat away from the wing. During winter months, the clarity of the air makes the snow-covered peaks of Honshu exceptionally sharp and photogenic.

Pacific Horizon
Vast, uninterrupted views of the deep blue Pacific Ocean throughout most of the cruise.
Izu Islands
A chain of volcanic islands stretching south from Tokyo, often visible as emerald dots in the sea.
Morning Sunrise
On early morning flights, the left side provides front-row seats to the sun rising over the Pacific.
Keelung Port
Upon descent into Taipei, you may spot the busy maritime traffic entering Taiwan's northern harbors.
The left side is best for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Pacific. While the view is mostly maritime, keep an eye out for the Ryukyu Islands chain during the latter half of the flight. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the horizon is not obstructed by the engine.
