Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side is the clear winner for this route, offering an iconic view of Mount Fuji shortly after departure from Narita, followed by the scenic Japanese coastline and the tropical islands of Okinawa and Taiwan.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🗻

Mount Fuji

Japan's iconic peak is often visible on the right side within the first 20 minutes of flight.

🌊

Izu Peninsula

Scenic views of the rugged coastline, mountainous terrain, and blue bays of Shizuoka.

🏝️

Okinawa Archipelago

Stunning turquoise waters and coral reefs surrounding the southern Japanese islands.

🏔️

Taiwan Central Range

The high, mist-covered mountain peaks of Taiwan provide a dramatic backdrop mid-flight.

🌾

Mekong Delta

On certain flight paths, the intricate river systems of southern Vietnam are visible.

The right side is essential for seeing Mount Fuji; request a seat behind the wing for the best photo composition. Clear winter mornings offer the highest probability of visibility. On evening flights, this side provides a front-row seat to spectacular sunsets over the South China Sea.

Left Side Highlights
6.2
🌋

Oshima Island

The northernmost of the Izu Islands, often featuring a visible volcanic crater shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Philippine Sea

Vast, deep-blue ocean views and dramatic cloud formations over the open Pacific.

🏝️

Riau Archipelago

A cluster of tropical Indonesian islands visible during the final descent into Singapore.

🚢

Singapore Strait

An impressive view of the global shipping lane filled with hundreds of stationary cargo vessels.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It is particularly good for night arrivals to see the lights of the massive fleet of ships anchored off the coast of Singapore. During autumn, the early morning sun creates beautiful reflections on the Pacific.
