RORNRT

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior for this northbound journey, offering the best chance to spot the iconic Mount Fuji and the lush Sagami Bay during the descent into Tokyo, alongside a great view of Palau's northern lagoons after takeoff.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Babeldaob Lagoons

Aerial views of Palau's intricate reef systems and turquoise lagoons immediately after departure from ROR.

🌊

Philippine Sea

A vast expanse of deep blue water as the flight tracks north toward the Japanese archipelago.

🚢

Sagami Bay

As the plane descends, look for the coastal waters near Enoshima and the bustling maritime traffic entering Tokyo Bay.

🏔️

Mount Fuji

The crown jewel of the flight; visible in the distance to the west during the arrival phase into the Kanto region.

🏙️

Tokyo Skyline

Distant views of the massive Shinjuku and Shibuya skyscrapers as the aircraft maneuvers for landing.

Select a window seat on the left for the most iconic views of Mount Fuji. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Japanese coastline. During the winter months, visibility is usually much higher, making the mountain peaks stand out clearly against the horizon.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🐚

Kayangel Atoll

The northernmost atoll of Palau, appearing as a perfect ring of white sand and coral in the deep blue ocean.

🌋

Izu Islands

A chain of volcanic islands including Oshima and Niijima that stretch south from the Tokyo region.

🏖️

Kujukuri Beach

One of Japan's longest sandy beaches, marking the eastern edge of the Boso Peninsula during the final approach.

🌾

Chiba Countryside

The patchwork of rice paddies and rural landscapes surrounding Narita Airport as the plane touches down.

The right side offers excellent views of the Izu Island chain, which are fascinating volcanic formations. If the flight arrives via the 'ARLON' arrival route, you will get a great look at the rugged coastline of the Boso Peninsula. This side is also better for avoiding direct glare during afternoon flights.
