SINNRT

Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is the preferred choice for this route, primarily because it offers the most iconic view of Mount Fuji during the descent into Japan, alongside great views of the Southeast Asian coastline.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🇸🇬

Changi & Singapore Strait

Aerial view of Singapore's eastern coastline and the massive fleet of cargo ships anchored in the strait.

🇻🇳

Central Vietnam Coast

Depending on the airway, you may see the white sand beaches and lagoons near Da Nang and the Marble Mountains.

⛰️

Mount Fuji

On a clear day during the descent into Narita from the southwest, Fuji's iconic peak appears on the left side.

🏙️

Tokyo Bay & Chiba

Views of the industrial architecture, shipping ports, and residential sprawls of the Boso Peninsula.

To see Mount Fuji, ensure you are on the left (A seat) and look out approximately 30-40 minutes before landing. Winter months (December-February) offer the highest probability of clear skies and a snow-capped peak. For daytime flights, this side also avoids direct glare from the sun when heading northeast.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🇮🇩

Riau Archipelago

Shortly after takeoff, view the lush tropical islands of Batam and Bintan in the Indonesian territory.

🇵🇭

Luzon Coastline

Distant views of the rugged mountain ranges and western coastline of the Philippines' northern islands.

🌅

Pacific Sunrise

For 'red-eye' flights arriving in the early morning, this side provides a front-row seat to the sunrise over the Pacific.

🌋

Izu Islands

A chain of volcanic islands stretching south from Honshu, often visible as the plane makes its final turn toward Narita.

Choose the right side (K seat) if you are on an overnight flight and want to witness the sunrise over the Pacific Ocean. It is also excellent for spotting the Izu island chain. Keep your window shade down during the middle of day flights to avoid the intense heat and glare from the southern sun.
