Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers the most iconic scenery on this route, featuring a spectacular view of Mount Fuji shortly after takeoff and the rugged peaks of the Japanese Alps mid-flight.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🗻

Mount Fuji

The crown jewel of the flight; Japan's tallest peak is typically visible on the right side about 15-20 minutes after departure from Narita.

🏔️

Southern Japanese Alps

A dramatic range of 3,000-meter peaks that remain snow-capped well into the spring and early summer.

💧

Lake Biwa

Japan's largest freshwater lake, located near Kyoto, visible as a massive blue expanse surrounded by mountains.

🌊

Tsushima Strait

The historic body of water between Kyushu and Korea, often dotted with cargo ships and fishing vessels.

🏙️

Jeju City

During the final approach, enjoy a bird's-eye view of the island's urban hub and the contrast between the city and the northern sea.

To maximize your chance of seeing Mount Fuji, book a morning flight when the air is clearest and cloud cover is usually lower. Ensure you are seated in a window seat away from the wing (Rows 1-10 or the very back) for the best photography of the mountain peaks.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Sagami Bay & Izu Peninsula

Aerial views of the deep blue bay and the mountainous, jagged coastline of the Izu region as you climb away from Tokyo.

🏝️

Izu Islands

A chain of volcanic islands visible in the Pacific Ocean, often appearing as dark emerald dots against the sea.

🌋

Sakurajima

If the flight path takes a southerly route over Kyushu, you may spot the active volcano plume in the distance near Kagoshima.

⛰️

Mount Halla (Hallasan)

As the plane descends into Jeju, the left side provides an excellent view of South Korea's highest peak at the center of the island.

The left side is preferable for seeing the Pacific coastline and the volcanic center of Jeju Island during landing. Choose a seat behind the wing to ensure your view of Mount Halla isn't obstructed during the final descent from the east.
