Which side of the plane to sit from Taoxian Airport (Shenyang) to Chubu Centrair International Airport (Nagoya)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior scenic experience, offering a dramatic entry into Japan over the rugged Noto Peninsula and the majestic Japanese Alps, culminating in a clear view of Mount Fuji to the southeast during the descent.
Shenyang Skyline
Catch a final glimpse of the Liaoning provincial capital and the Hun River shortly after takeoff from Taoxian Airport.
Sea of Japan
A vast expanse of deep blue water as the aircraft crosses the maritime border between the Asian mainland and the Japanese archipelago.
Noto Peninsula
The distinct, rugged coastline of Ishikawa Prefecture serves as the gateway to the Japanese main island of Honshu.
Northern Japanese Alps
Breathtaking views of the snow-capped Hida Mountains, often referred to as the 'Roof of Japan,' during the initial descent.
Mount Fuji
On clear days, the iconic cone of Fuji-san is visible in the distance to the southeast as the plane maneuvers toward Nagoya.
To maximize your chances of seeing Mount Fuji and the Alps, book a morning flight when the air is clearest and the sun illuminates the eastern slopes. A window seat forward of the wing is recommended to avoid engine heat haze distortion during photography.
Liaodong Peninsula
Aerial views of the southern Liaoning coastline and the busy maritime traffic near the port city of Dalian.
Korean Peninsula
Depending on the specific airway, distant views of the South Korean coastline or the islands near Incheon may be visible.
Ise Bay
Dramatic views of the coastal industrial zones and the large cargo vessels entering the port of Nagoya.
Suzuka Circuit
Keep an eye out for the distinctive figure-eight layout of the world-famous Formula 1 racing track just west of the bay.
Centrair Island
A unique perspective of the artificial island airport itself as the plane executes its final approach over the water.
The right side is ideal for those interested in industrial geography and maritime activity. It offers the best view of the Suzuka coastline and the architectural feat of the Centrair artificial island during the final banking turns before landing.
