Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Ryukyu island chain during the initial phase and spectacular views of the Pacific coastline of Honshu and the Kushiro Wetlands upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🏝️

Ryukyu Archipelago

Stunning aerial views of Okinawa and the surrounding turquoise coral reefs of the southern islands.

🌊

Boso Peninsula

The dramatic coastline of Chiba and the Pacific entrance to Tokyo Bay.

🐚

Sanriku Coast

The rugged rias coastline of northeastern Japan, featuring jagged cliffs and deep inlets.

🌾

Kushiro Wetlands

Japan's largest marshland, a sprawling natural habitat visible during the final descent into Kushiro.

⚓

Kushiro Port

A clear view of Hokkaido's major Pacific fishing and industrial port just before touchdown.

This is the premier side for morning flights to catch the sunrise over the Pacific. During the winter months, keep a close eye on the Kushiro Wetlands (Shitsugen) for a chance to spot the snowy landscapes that serve as a habitat for endangered red-crowned cranes.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
🏙️

Taipei Cityscape

Bird's-eye view of the Tamsui River and northern Taipei during the initial ascent from Taoyuan.

⛰️

Central Honshu Mountains

The snow-capped peaks of the Japanese Alps are visible when the flight path tracks over mainland Japan.

🌋

Mount Iwate

A prominent stratovolcano in the Tohoku region, often called the 'Mount Fuji of Nambu'.

❄️

Lake Towada

A stunning blue caldera lake located on the border between Akita and Aomori prefectures.

Sit on the left to witness the sunset on evening flights. It provides the best view of Japan's mountainous interior and northern caldera lakes. Request a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Tohoku mountain ranges.
