Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Tokyo to Singapore. The right side wins overall for the spectacular Mount Fuji view during Tokyo departure, which is one of the most iconic aerial sights in Asia. The landing view on the left is excellent, but the Fuji departure moment is genuinely hard to beat and is the highlight of the full journey.

During takeoff from Tokyo International (HND), sit on the Right side for the best views. HND departures heading south or southwest typically use runways 34L/34R or 16L/16R. On a southbound departure toward Singapore, the right side gives you Tokyo Bay sweeping out ahead, with the city grid of Kawasaki and Yokohama visible below. Mount Fuji appears to the right (west) as the aircraft climbs and turns south. Notable sights include: Tokyo Bay, Yokohama port and city grid, Mount Fuji (west, ~100km), Miura Peninsula.

When landing at Singapore Changi (SIN), sit on the Left side for the best views. Changi typically uses runways 02L/02R or 20L/20R. On approach from the north, the left side faces west over the Singapore Strait and the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, giving views of the city skyline, Marina Bay, and the dense port traffic in the strait. The right side faces east toward open sea. Notable sights include: Marina Bay Sands and CBD skyline, Singapore Strait shipping lanes, Jurong Island petrochemical complex, Batam Island (Indonesia).

The flight from Tokyo International (HND) to Singapore Changi (SIN) takes Approximately 7 hours.

The route tracks southwest over the East China Sea, passing west of Okinawa and the Ryukyu island chain (visible as scattered green islands in blue water), then crosses the South China Sea. The Philippine island of Luzon may be visible to the east on clear days. The route passes over or near the northern tip of Borneo before descending toward Singapore. Much of the mid-flight is open ocean with occasional island clusters.
