TAONGO

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior vantage point for seeing the urban sprawl of Seoul and the dramatic, often snow-capped Japanese Alps during the descent into central Japan.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Yellow Sea

Vast blue expanses visible shortly after departing the Qingdao coastline.

🏙️

Greater Seoul Area

An impressive view of the dense urban development around Incheon and the Han River valley.

🏔️

Taebaek Range

The rugged mountains that run along the eastern coast of South Korea.

🗾

Noto Peninsula

The prominent coastal feature of Japan's Ishikawa Prefecture visible in the distance.

🏔️

Northern Japanese Alps

Stunning views of the Hida Mountains, often covered in snow, as you approach Nagoya.

Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. Look for Seoul about 40 minutes after takeoff and the Japanese Alps roughly 15-20 minutes before landing.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏝️

Southern Archipelago

A beautiful collection of thousands of small islands off the south coast of Korea.

🌉

Busan Port

The industrial scale of Korea's second-largest city and the iconic Gwangan Bridge.

🌊

Tsushima Strait

The historic body of water connecting the Sea of Japan and the East China Sea.

🌲

Kii Peninsula

The lush, mountainous terrain of Mie and Wakayama prefectures to the south.

⚓

Ise Bay

Aerial views of the massive port facilities and the artificial island of Centrair Airport.

The right side is excellent for afternoon flights. Keep an eye out for the Korean coastline about halfway through the flight. During the final approach, the bay views are particularly striking with the city lights of Nagoya in the distance.
