Which side of the plane to sit from Beijing Capital International Airport (Beijing) to Chubu Centrair International Airport (Nagoya)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most dramatic views of the Japanese Alps and a high probability of spotting Mount Fuji on the horizon during the descent phase into Nagoya.
Beijing Outskirts
Aerial views of the massive urban sprawl and the Olympic Park area shortly after takeoff.
Bohai Sea Coastline
The northern curve of the Bohai Gulf as the flight leaves the Chinese mainland.
South Korean Peninsula
Gliding over or near the southern coast of Korea, offering views of the rugged mountainous terrain.
Japanese Alps
Spectacular views of the Hida and Kiso mountain ranges as the aircraft crosses central Honshu.
Mount Fuji
On clear days, the iconic snow-capped peak is visible to the east during the descent into Chubu Centrair.
Book a seat on the left to maximize your chances of seeing Mount Fuji; it will appear on the horizon roughly 20 to 30 minutes before landing. Morning flights are preferred to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Japanese Alps and providing clear, glare-free photography opportunities.
Port of Tianjin
One of the world's largest industrial ports, visible as the flight crosses the coast into the Yellow Sea.
Jeju Island
The volcanic landscape of South Korea's southernmost province is often visible to the south.
Seto Inland Sea
A stunning panoramic view of the numerous islands and bridges scattered between Shikoku and Honshu.
Kansai Urban Sprawl
Distant views of the massive Osaka and Kobe metropolitan areas as the plane nears Nagoya.
Ise Bay
The expansive blue waters and industrial coastline of the bay surrounding the offshore Centrair airport.
The right side is ideal for maritime enthusiasts. You will get a unique perspective of the Seto Inland Sea's intricate geography. During the winter months, look for the contrast between the deep blue sea and the snowy coastal mountains of the Chugoku region. Choose a seat away from the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the coastline during the final approach over Ise Bay.
