Search flights from MFM to NRT
Pearl River Delta
Aerial view of the dense urban landscape of Macau, Zhuhai, and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge shortly after takeoff.
Northern Taiwan
The rugged green peaks and coastline of northern Taiwan, including glimpses of the Taipei basin in clear weather.
Sakurajima
Views of the active volcano in Kagoshima Bay as the flight crosses the southern tip of Kyushu.
Shikoku Shoreline
Dramatic views of the indented coastline and mountainous interior of Shikoku island.
Mount Fuji
The majestic snow-capped peak of Fuji is visible to the north about 20 to 30 minutes before landing at Narita.
Book a window seat on the left for the best chance to see Mount Fuji. Morning flights (departing 9am-11am) are ideal for clear visibility before afternoon clouds build up. During winter months, the mountain is most likely to be visible and covered in snow. Keep your window shade open as you begin the descent from cruising altitude over central Japan.

Ryukyu Islands
The emerald waters and coral reefs of the Okinawa archipelago dotting the East China Sea.
Pacific Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Pacific Ocean and the visible line of the Kuroshio Current.
Izu Islands
A chain of volcanic islands, including Oshima, stretching south into the Pacific from Tokyo Bay.
Boso Peninsula
Detailed views of the Kujukuri Beach coastline and the rural landscapes of Chiba during final approach.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. It provides a peaceful view of the Pacific and is better for spotting the tropical colors of the southern Japanese islands. If the flight path approaches Narita from the south over the ocean, the right side offers great views of the Chiba coastline.
