Central Vietnam Coastline
Lush green mountains and white sand beaches near Da Nang and Hue shortly after departure.
Taiwan Central Range
Stunning views of Taiwan's rugged mountain peaks if the flight path tracks slightly inland.
Ryukyu Archipelago
Breathtaking turquoise waters and coral reefs surrounding the islands of Okinawa.
Kyushu Coastline
Views of the volcanic southern tip of Japan, including distant views of Sakurajima.
Mount Fuji
The ultimate highlight, visible about 20 to 30 minutes before landing on clear days.
Choose a window seat on the left for the best chance to see Mount Fuji. For day flights, the lighting is typically excellent for photography. Ensure you look out during the final 100 miles of the flight as you track along the Japanese coast toward Tokyo Bay.

Pacific Sunrise
Spectacular orange and purple hues over the open ocean on overnight red-eye flights.
South China Sea
Vast expanse of deep blue water with occasional glimpses of remote islands and atolls.
Izu Islands
A chain of volcanic islands stretching south from Tokyo, visible during the final descent.
Tokyo Bay Traffic
Dense maritime traffic and the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line bridge-tunnel system during landing.
The right side is ideal for sunrise views on overnight flights (SGN-HND often departs late at night). While it offers less land scenery, the approach over Tokyo Bay provides a great perspective of the city's industrial scale and maritime activity.
