Which side of the plane to sit from Chubu Centrair International Airport (Nagoya) to Narita International Airport (Tokyo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is the undisputed winner for this route as it provides a front-row seat to Mount Fuji and the stunning Japanese Alps.
Mount Fuji
The absolute highlight of the flight, offering a majestic close-up view of Japan's highest peak shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Southern Japanese Alps
The snow-capped Akaishi Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop of rugged peaks to the north of the flight path.
Lake Ashi and Hakone
View the beautiful crater lake and the steaming volcanic vents of Owakudani in the Hakone region.
Shizuoka Skyline
The urban sprawl of Shizuoka City nestled between the mountains and the Suruga Bay coastline.
Greater Tokyo Area
As you approach Narita, the vast urban expanse of Tokyo and its surrounding prefectures stretches to the horizon.
Sit on the left for the iconic Mt. Fuji view. Book a morning flight (8:00 AM - 10:00 AM) for the best chance of clear skies, as Fuji often hides behind clouds by midday. Ensure your seat is away from the wing for an unobstructed photo of the peak approximately 15-20 minutes after departure.
Pacific Ocean Coastline
Sweeping views of the Enshunada Sea and the dramatic coastline of the Tokai region.
Izu Islands
On clear days, volcanic islands like Oshima and Toshima can be spotted emerging from the Pacific blue.
Sagami Bay
A deep-water bay known for its rich marine life and the coastal towns of the Shonan area.
Boso Peninsula
The lush green hills and rugged cliffs of Chiba Prefecture during the final descent into Narita.
Tokyo Bay Traffic
Watch massive container ships and tankers navigating the busy shipping lanes towards Chiba and Tokyo ports.
The right side offers serene ocean vistas and is excellent for sunrise views on the earliest flights. It is generally less crowded than the left side. During the final approach to Narita, you will get a better view of the rural landscapes and golf courses of Chiba Prefecture.
