Tateyama Mountain Range
Breathtaking views of the Northern Japanese Alps immediately after departure from Toyama.
San'in Coastline
Dramatic rocky shores and white sand beaches along the Sea of Japan as you fly over Tottori and Shimane.
Mount Daisen
The highest peak in the Chugoku region, often called 'Hoki Fuji' for its symmetrical volcanic shape.
Keelung City
The dense urban landscape and major shipping port at the northern tip of Taiwan during initial descent.
Yangmingshan National Park
Vibrant green volcanic craters and steaming fumaroles just north of the Taipei metropolitan area.
Taipei City Skyline
On specific landing patterns, you can see the distant silhouette of Taipei 101 to the south.
Choose a window seat on the left for morning flights to get the best illumination on the Japanese Alps and the Taiwan coastline. During winter, the snow-capped peaks of Tateyama are a major highlight shortly after takeoff. Avoid seats directly over the wing for the clearest view of the coastline.

Noto Peninsula
A clear view of the distinct hook-shaped peninsula as the aircraft gains altitude over Toyama Bay.
Jeju Island
On a clear day and a westerly flight path, the volcanic peak of Hallasan in South Korea may be visible in the distance.
East China Sea
Vast ocean vistas frequently dotted with international cargo ships and fishing fleets.
Sunset Horizon
On afternoon flights, this side provides front-row seats to spectacular sunsets over the water.
Tamsui District
The scenic mouth of the Tamsui River where it meets the Taiwan Strait just before landing at Taoyuan.
The right side is ideal for travelers on late-afternoon flights who want to enjoy the sunset over the East China Sea. While there is more 'open water' time on this side, the departure view of the Noto Peninsula is excellent. This side also avoids direct glare during midday flights heading south.
