Which side of the plane to sit from Tashkent International Airport (Tashkent) to Narita International Airport (Tokyo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers breathtaking views of the massive Tian Shan mountain range shortly after takeoff and the potential for an iconic view of Mount Fuji during the descent into Tokyo.
Tian Shan Mountains
Incredible, close-up views of the 'Heavenly Mountains,' including snow-capped peaks and glaciers.
Taklamakan Desert
Views of the northern rim of one of the world's largest shifting sand deserts in the Tarim Basin.
Seoul Metropolitan Area
The sprawling urban landscape of the South Korean capital is often visible during the trans-peninsular leg.
Mount Fuji
On clear days, the iconic volcanic cone is often visible to the south during the arrival sequence into Narita.
Tokyo Bay
Panoramic views of the world's most populous metropolitan area and the busy shipping lanes of the bay.
The first 90 minutes are crucial for the Tian Shan views; keep your camera ready shortly after departing Tashkent. For the Mount Fuji sighting, it usually appears about 20 to 30 minutes before landing. If the flight arrives in the morning, the right side will be the sunnier side, so high-quality sunglasses are recommended.
Almaty Region
Aerial views of the northern foothills of the Trans-Ili Alatau as the flight skims the Kazakh border.
Inner Mongolian Steppes
The vast, desolate beauty of the northern Gobi transition zones and Mongolian borderlands.
Sea of Japan
A long stretch over the deep blue waters separating the Asian continent from the Japanese archipelago.
Honshu Coastline
Rugged cliffs and the northern shores of Japan's main island as the plane enters domestic airspace.
Choose the left side for better sunrise views if you are on an overnight flight heading east. This side is typically shielded from the harshest direct sunlight during afternoon flights, making it easier to photograph the expansive landscapes of Northern China and Inner Mongolia without glare.
