Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side is the clear winner on this route, primarily because it offers the most iconic view in Japan: Mount Fuji. Shortly after departure from Narita, passengers on the right are treated to a magnificent perspective of the volcano and the rugged Japanese coastline.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🗻

Mount Fuji

About 20-30 minutes after takeoff, the iconic snow-capped peak is visible to the northwest of the flight path.

🏙️

Tokyo Bay & Yokohama

Spectacular views of the world's most populous metropolitan area and the busy shipping lanes of the bay.

🗾

Kii Peninsula

The rugged, forested mountains of Wakayama and the sacred Kumano Kodo region.

🏝️

Amami Oshima

The unique coastlines and lush subtropical forests of the Amami archipelago.

⚓

Kaohsiung Port

On final approach, see one of the world's largest container ports and the urban landscape of southern Taiwan.

The best view of Mount Fuji occurs early in the flight; stay alert shortly after the seatbelt sign is turned off. For the best photography, a morning flight provides 'front-lighting' on the Japanese coast. During the landing at KHH, the right side often provides a better view of the city's skyline and 85 Sky Tower.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Izu Islands

Aerial views of the volcanic island chain stretching south into the Pacific Ocean.

🏝️

Okinawa Main Island

Depending on the specific flight path, you may see the northern and central parts of Okinawa and its surrounding reefs.

⛰️

Taiwan Central Range

As you descend into Kaohsiung, the majestic 3,000-meter peaks of Taiwan's spine are visible to the east.

🏙️

Boso Peninsula

Immediate views of the green hills and coastal towns of Chiba Prefecture after takeoff.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. This side is also excellent for seeing the turquoise waters of the Nansei Islands and the dramatic silhouettes of Taiwan's high mountains during the final 30 minutes of the flight.
