NRT → FUK
Which side of the plane to sit from Narita International Airport (Tokyo) to Fukuoka Airport (Fukuoka)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is the clear winner for this route due to the spectacular, direct views of Mount Fuji, followed by the scenic islands of the Seto Inland Sea during the mid-flight phase.

Mount Fuji
The absolute highlight; Japan's tallest peak is visible in its full glory about 15-20 minutes after departure.
Japanese Alps
In the distance to the north, you can see the snow-capped peaks of the Southern and Central Alps.
Seto Inland Sea
A breathtaking view of the 'Aegean of the East' with its thousands of tiny islands and bridges.
Kitakyushu & Kanmon Bridge
As the plane descends, look for the narrow strait and bridge connecting Honshu to Kyushu.
Sit on the right side for the iconic Mount Fuji view. Aim for a morning flight (before 10:00 AM) when Fuji is less likely to be obscured by afternoon clouds. Ensure you pick a seat away from the wing to have an unobstructed view of the Seto Inland Sea islands during the second half of the flight.
