Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Tokyo to Bangalore. The left side wins overall due to the spectacular departure views over Tokyo Bay and the potential sighting of Mount Fuji, which is one of the most iconic aerial views in Asia. Mid-flight the left side also tracks closer to the Bay of Bengal coastline as the route curves southwest over Myanmar and the Andaman Sea. The landing advantage on the right is real but less dramatic than the departure scenery.

During takeoff from New Tokyo International (NRT), sit on the Left side for the best views. NRT typically departs on runways 16L/16R heading south, or 34L/34R heading north. On a southwestbound flight to BLR, aircraft often depart south then turn west. A left window seat gives views over Tokyo Bay, the dense urban sprawl of greater Tokyo, and on clear days Mount Fuji to the southwest. Right side faces inland toward Chiba's flat agricultural plains with little of interest. Notable sights include: Tokyo Bay, Mount Fuji (on clear days, ~60 miles southwest), greater Tokyo urban grid, Chiba Peninsula coastline.

When landing at Bangalore (BLR), sit on the Right side for the best views. BLR's Kempegowda International typically uses runways 09/27 or 28L/28R. On approach from the northeast, aircraft descend over the Deccan Plateau. A right window seat faces south toward Bangalore's expanding urban core and the surrounding tank-dotted plateau landscape. The left side faces north toward more rural scrubland with less visual interest. Notable sights include: Bangalore urban sprawl, Deccan Plateau terrain, Hesaraghatta Reservoir (northwest of city), scattered urban lakes (Ulsoor, Hebbal lakes visible in city).

The flight from New Tokyo International (NRT) to Bangalore (BLR) takes Approximately 9 to 10 hours.

The route tracks southwest over the East China Sea, crosses southern China or northern Myanmar depending on routing, passes over the Bay of Bengal, then crosses the southern tip of India's Eastern Ghats before descending onto the Deccan Plateau. The Bay of Bengal provides a long stretch of open water in the mid-flight phase, and the Irrawaddy River delta in Myanmar may be visible as a broad braided river system on clear days.
