Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is the preferred choice for this route as it offers the iconic view of Mount Fuji during the descent into Tokyo, alongside the dramatic coastlines of the Japanese archipelago.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

Northern Taiwan Coastline

View the rugged cliffs and turquoise waters of Yehliu and the northern tip of Taiwan shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Ryukyu Islands

Distant glimpses of the emerald-colored island chains of Okinawa and Amami Oshima across the East China Sea.

⛰️

Shikoku Mountains

A view of the mountainous southern coastline of Shikoku island as the flight tracks northeast toward Honshu.

🗾

Izu Peninsula

Dramatic aerial views of the deep bays and steep ridges of the Izu Peninsula as you enter the Kanto region.

🏔️

Mount Fuji

The crown jewel of the flight; Japan's highest peak is typically visible on the left side during the descent into Haneda.

For the best chance of seeing Mount Fuji, book a window seat forward of the wing. Fuji usually appears 20–30 minutes before landing. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, reducing glare on the window and providing the clearest visibility, especially in winter when the air is crisp.

Right Side Highlights
6.2
🌅

Pacific Horizon

An uninterrupted view of the vast Pacific Ocean, offering spectacular sunrises on early morning departures from Taipei.

🌋

Izu Islands

A bird's-eye view of volcanic islands like Oshima and Niijima dotting the ocean surface south of Tokyo.

🌉

Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line

The impressive bridge-and-tunnel system crossing Tokyo Bay is visible during the final minutes of flight.

🎡

Tokyo Disney Resort

On certain approach patterns (Runway 34R), you can spot the Cinderella Castle and the distinctive loops of DisneySea.

Choose the right side if you are on a sunrise flight for stunning lighting over the Pacific. On the final approach into Haneda, keep a lookout for the Umi-hotaru parking area in the middle of the bay. If landing from the south, the right side offers better views of the massive industrial complexes and shipping lanes of the Boso Peninsula.
