Which side of the plane to sit from Taipei Songshan Airport (Taipei) to Tokyo Haneda International Airport (Tokyo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is the clear winner on this route, primarily because it offers the most iconic and clear view of Mount Fuji during the descent into Tokyo, alongside views of the Japanese coastline and Taipei's city center upon takeoff.

Taipei Cityscape
Immediate views of the Taipei basin, Keelung River, and the iconic Taipei 101 shortly after takeoff from Songshan.
Northern Taiwan Coast
Aerial perspective of the rugged Keelung coastline and the turquoise waters of the East China Sea.
Shikoku Mountains
As the flight enters Japanese airspace, look for the dense, forested mountain ranges of southern Shikoku.
Mount Fuji
The ultimate highlight. Mount Fuji appears prominently on the left approximately 20-30 minutes before landing at Haneda.
Yokohama Minato Mirai
During final approach, you can see the Ferris wheel, Landmark Tower, and the bustling port of Yokohama.
Sit on the left side (Seat A) for the best chance to see Mt. Fuji. Choose a morning flight for the clearest visibility of the mountain, as clouds often form in the afternoon. During the winter months, the peak is beautifully snow-capped, providing the most dramatic photos. Ensure your window is clean before takeoff, as the descent into Tokyo Bay happens quickly.

Vast, uninterrupted views of the deep blue Philippine Sea and Pacific Ocean throughout the cruise phase.
Izu Islands
A chain of volcanic islands stretching south from Tokyo, including Oshima and Toshima, visible during the descent.
Boso Peninsula
Views of the Chiba coastline and the industrial ports that line the eastern side of Tokyo Bay.
Tokyo Bay Shipping
Watch for the massive cargo ships and tankers navigating the narrow sea lanes toward Tokyo and Kawasaki.
The right side (Seat K) is ideal if you prefer to avoid the direct glare of the sun when flying northeast during the day. It offers a more serene, maritime perspective. Look for the 'Umi-hotaru' parking area, a unique bridge-tunnel junction in the middle of Tokyo Bay, just moments before the wheels touch down at Haneda.
