Busan Port
Incredible views of one of the world's busiest container terminals and the Diamond Bridge during the initial ascent.
Tsushima Island
A clear view of this historic island sitting in the middle of the Korea Strait between the two nations.
Mount Fuji
The absolute highlight of the trip; the majestic snow-capped volcano is usually visible to the south about 30-40 minutes before arrival.
Tokyo Bay & Boso
Views of the industrial infrastructure, cargo ships, and the rugged coastline of the Boso Peninsula during the descent into Narita.
This is the 'Fuji side.' To see the mountain clearly, choose a window seat behind the wing to ensure your view isn't obstructed. The mountain appears on the right because the standard arrival route into Narita passes to the north of the peak. Afternoon flights offer the best warm lighting for photography of the mountain.

Haeundae Beach
A stunning aerial perspective of Busan's most famous beach and the high-rise skyline of Marine City shortly after takeoff.
East Sea (Sea of Japan)
A vast, serene blue horizon during the mid-flight crossing between the Korean Peninsula and the main island of Honshu.
Northern Japanese Alps
Glimpses of the rugged, high-altitude peaks of the Hida Mountains, often covered in snow from late autumn through spring.
Tone River
The meandering path of one of Japan's largest rivers as it flows through the fertile Kanto Plain during the final approach.
Sit on this side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. It provides a more peaceful view of the open sea and the northern mountainous interior of Japan. If the flight path takes a more northerly route, you will have a better view of the San'in coastline.
