Which side of the plane to sit from Narita International Airport (Tokyo) to Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport (Agana)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is highly recommended for the iconic view of Mount Fuji shortly after departure from Tokyo, as well as views of the volcanic Izu Peninsula and Iwo Jima mid-flight.
Mount Fuji
Japan's most iconic peak is visible to the west shortly after takeoff, provided the weather is clear.
Izu Peninsula
Rugged mountainous coastlines and deep blue bays of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park region.
Iwo Jima
The historic volcanic island, also known as Iwo To, featuring the distinct silhouette of Mount Suribachi.
Two Lovers Point
A dramatic 112-meter limestone cliff overlooking the Philippine Sea as the plane enters Guam airspace.
Farallon de Medinilla
A remote, uninhabited island in the Northern Mariana Islands used as a waypoint during the southern trek.
The Mount Fuji view occurs within the first 15-20 minutes of flight; be ready with your camera immediately after the seatbelt sign turns off. For daytime flights, the sun will be on this side, so polarising filters are helpful for photography to reduce glare from the ocean.
Tokyo Bay
Aerial view of the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line and the industrial landscape of the Chiba coastline immediately after takeoff.
Hachijojima
A striking volcanic island in the Izu chain featuring two prominent peaks, Mount Mihara and Mount Hachijo-fuji.
Aogashima
A rare double-volcano island located south of the Izu Islands, featuring a smaller crater inside a larger caldera.
Tumon Bay
The turquoise waters and white sand beaches of Guam's primary resort area visible during the final descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Pacific. During the approach to Guam, this side often provides a broader view of the island's eastern coastline and the reef systems surrounding the airport.
