YYZ → NRT
Which side of the plane to sit from Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto) to Narita International Airport (Tokyo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to the volcanic wonders of the Kamchatka Peninsula and the Kuril Islands, along with a better chance of spotting Mount Fuji on the approach to Narita.

Hudson Bay
The rugged, icy western coastline and unique geological formations of the world's largest inland sea.
Brooks Range
Stunning aerial perspectives of the northernmost mountain range in Alaska's wilderness.
Kamchatka Peninsula
A spectacular display of active, snow-capped volcanoes along Russia's volcanic Ring of Fire.
Kuril Islands
A dramatic string of volcanic islands emerging from the North Pacific between Russia and Japan.
Mount Fuji
Potential views of Japan's most iconic peak to the west during the final descent into the Tokyo area.
This side is superior for the Kamchatka volcanoes, usually visible 10-11 hours into the flight. For the best chance to see Mount Fuji, look out during the final 30 minutes of flight as the plane maneuvers toward Narita. During winter months, watch for the Aurora Borealis over the Canadian Arctic.

Toronto Skyline
Immediate views of the CN Tower and Lake Ontario shoreline upon takeoff from YYZ.
Canadian Shield
Endless vistas of lakes and boreal forest across Northern Ontario and Manitoba.
Arctic Archipelago
Stark, beautiful frozen landscapes of Canada's northernmost territories during the transpolar crossing.
Pacific Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Pacific as the aircraft transitions toward the Japanese islands.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion when photographing the Toronto skyline. Since the flight travels westward, the left side will face south, potentially catching direct sunlight; keep the window shade partially down during the mid-flight glare.
