NRT → VVO
Which side of the plane to sit from Narita International Airport (Tokyo) to Vladivostok International Airport (Vladivostok)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more consistent view of the Japanese landmass during the initial climb and provides a stunning perspective of the rugged Russian coastline and Ussuri Bay during the descent into Vladivostok.

Mount Tsukuba
A prominent double-peaked mountain visible north of Narita as the plane turns toward its cruise altitude.
Ou Mountains
The snowy backbone of the Tohoku region can be seen stretching north while the plane crosses over the Sea of Japan coastline.
Ussuri Bay
Dramatic views of the rocky inlets and steep cliffs of the Primorsky Krai region as the flight descends into VVO airport.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. Look out for the changing terrain from Japan's lush green mountains to the more rugged, taiga-like landscape of the Russian Far East. During the winter months, the snow coverage in the Sikhote-Alin mountains provides a stark, beautiful contrast to the deep blue sea.

Kanto Urban Sprawl
Aerial view of the dense Tokyo metropolitan area and Chiba prefecture shortly after departure from Narita.
Sado Island
The distinct shape of Sado Island in the Sea of Japan is often visible if the flight path takes a central-western route over Honshu.
Golden Horn Bay
On final approach, views of the bridges and naval port of Vladivostok are often visible depending on the wind direction and runway used.
Sit on the left if you want a chance to see the city lights of Vladivostok and the harbor bridges during a night landing. In the winter, keep an eye out for drift ice in the Peter the Great Gulf as you approach the Russian coast.
