Tokyo to Cheju flight path: HND to CJU

Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Tokyo to Cheju. While right offers good Tokyo Bay views during takeoff, left provides superior scenery for the majority of the flight and especially during the critical descent phase with Hallasan and Jeju's volcanic landscape. The left side also captures the Korea Strait crossing, which is the most visually distinctive portion of this short route.

During takeoff from Tokyo International (HND), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats capture the Kanto Plain and Tokyo Bay as the aircraft climbs southeastward from Haneda. You'll see the sprawl of central Tokyo, the bay's distinctive shape, and the Boso Peninsula extending into the Pacific. Notable sights include: Tokyo Bay, Boso Peninsula, Kanto Plain urban grid, Mount Fuji (visible on clear days to the west, but better on left side during climb).

When landing at Jeju International (CJU), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats offer the best views during descent into Jeju. You'll see the island's volcanic terrain, the distinctive cone of Hallasan mountain dominating the center, and the surrounding Korea Strait with the Korean mainland visible to the north. Notable sights include: Hallasan (volcanic peak, 6,398 ft), Jeju Island's dark volcanic slopes, Korea Strait, Korean mainland coastline to the north.

The flight from Tokyo International (HND) to Jeju International (CJU) takes about 2 hours. The shortest flight path between them is 769 miles (1,238 km); winds and air traffic control usually add a few percent.

Korea Strait (body of water between Japan and South Korea), Tsushima Island (Japanese territory, visible on clear days), transition from Kanto Plain to open ocean, then approach to Jeju Island's volcanic terrain. The flight path crosses the strait roughly east-to-west, with the Korean mainland visible to the north throughout the crossing.
