Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Tokyo to Seoul. While takeoff from Tokyo offers good views of the Kanto region, the landing approach into Seoul provides more dramatic and varied scenery—the Han River, Seoul's massive urban landscape, and the Korean mountains create a more visually compelling experience. Left-side seats capture this better during descent.

During takeoff from New Tokyo International (NRT), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of Tokyo Bay and the Kanto Plain as the aircraft climbs northwestward. You'll see the sprawling urban landscape of greater Tokyo and the distinctive coastline of the bay before heading out over water toward Korea. Notable sights include: Tokyo Bay, Kanto Plain urban grid, Mount Fuji (visible on clear days to the southwest at distance), Chiba Peninsula.

When landing at Gimpo (GMP), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during descent into Gimpo. You'll see the Han River winding through Seoul, the city's dense urban core, and the surrounding mountainous terrain of the Korean peninsula as you approach from the southeast. Notable sights include: Han River, Seoul metropolitan area, Bukhan Mountains (north of Seoul), Gimpo lowlands.

The flight from New Tokyo International (NRT) to Gimpo (GMP) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.

The flight crosses the Korea Strait (visible as open water), passes over the Korean peninsula's western coastal plains, and approaches Seoul from the southeast. The Yellow Sea lies to the west throughout much of the route. No major mountain ranges are crossed, but the transition from Japan's volcanic topography to Korea's lower, forested plateau is gradual and subtle at cruise altitude.
