Which side of the plane to sit from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (Taipei) to Toyama Airport (Toyama)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of views, including the turquoise Ryukyu Islands and a spectacular approach past the snow-capped Northern Japanese Alps.
Ryukyu Islands
Breathtaking views of Okinawa and the surrounding coral reefs with vibrant shades of turquoise and blue.
Mount Fuji
On exceptionally clear days, the iconic snow-capped peak may be visible in the far distance to the east.
Northern Japanese Alps
Dramatic views of the Tateyama mountain range, often covered in deep snow well into the spring months.
Toyama Bay
One of the world's most beautiful bays, famous for its deep waters and the Mirages of Uozu.
The right side is the definitive choice for mountain lovers. The approach to Toyama Airport from the south or east provides an unforgettable view of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine route. Morning flights are ideal to have the sun behind you, illuminating the mountains and reefs. In winter, look for the 'snow walls' along the mountain ridges.
Northern Taiwan Coast
Aerial views of the rugged coastline and Keelung harbor immediately after departing from Taoyuan.
East China Sea
Vast ocean vistas frequently dotted with large cargo vessels navigating the international shipping lanes.
Noto Peninsula
The iconic 'hooked' shape of the peninsula becomes visible as the aircraft prepares for its descent into Toyama.
Toyama City
Clear views of the urban landscape and the Jinzu River winding through the city during the final approach.
Sit on the left if you want a clear view of the Noto Peninsula and the shoreline of the Sea of Japan. During the final descent, this side provides the best perspective of the urban layout of Toyama city. It is also less prone to direct afternoon sun glare during north-bound flights.
