The left side of the aircraft offers the most iconic views, including a high-probability sighting of Mount Fuji shortly after takeoff and a panoramic perspective of the Korean coastline and Yellow Sea islands.

Mount Fuji
Japan's tallest peak is typically visible on the left side about 15-20 minutes after departure from Narita.
Tokyo Bay
Views of the sprawling Tokyo metropolitan area and the intricate infrastructure of the bay.
Japanese Alps
The rugged, often snow-capped peaks of central Honshu provide a dramatic landscape during mid-flight.
Incheon Bridge
A massive engineering feat visible as the flight crosses the western coast of the Korean Peninsula.
Yellow Sea Archipelagos
Clusters of small islands and aquaculture farms visible during the descent towards the Liaodong Peninsula.
Choose a window seat on the left for the best chance of seeing Mount Fuji; morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the mountain perfectly. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff as the window of visibility for the peak is often brief.

Kujukuri Beach
The long, scenic coastline of Chiba Prefecture visible immediately after the initial climb from NRT.
Sea of Japan
The vast blue expanse between Japan and the mainland, offering beautiful horizon views at cruising altitude.
Dalian Skyline
A clear view of Dalian's modern skyscrapers and dense urban layout during the final approach.
Dalian Port
One of China's most important deep-water ports, filled with massive cargo ships and tankers.
Lushun District
The historic tip of the peninsula, known for its strategic naval importance and coastal fortifications.
The right side is excellent for viewing the Dalian city center and port operations during the landing phase. If the flight occurs in the late afternoon, the right side will enjoy the golden hour glow over the Sea of Japan, though glare can be an issue.
