Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Tokyo to Singapore. The left side delivers the most dramatic single moment of the flight — the Mount Fuji and Tokyo Bay panorama on departure — and also tracks the South China Sea coastline and Malay Peninsula terrain during cruise. The landing view on the right is good but shorter in duration and less visually varied.

During takeoff from New Tokyo International (NRT), sit on the Left side for the best views. NRT typically departs on runway 34L/34R heading northwest, then turns south. The left side captures Tokyo Bay, the sprawling Tokyo metropolitan area, and on clear days Mount Fuji to the southwest. This is the more dramatic urban and geographic panorama. Notable sights include: Tokyo Bay, Mount Fuji (on clear days, ~80km southwest), Tokyo metropolitan grid, Chiba coastal lowlands.

When landing at Seletar (XSP), sit on the Right side for the best views. Seletar Airport typically uses runway 21 for arrivals, approaching from the northeast over the Strait of Johor. The right side gives views over the Johor Strait, the causeway linking Singapore to Malaysia, and the dense urban core of central Singapore to the south. Notable sights include: Johor Strait, Woodlands Causeway, central Singapore skyline, Pulau Ubin island.

The flight from New Tokyo International (NRT) to Seletar (XSP) takes Approximately 7 to 7.5 hours.

The route passes over the East China Sea south of Kyushu, crosses the northern Philippines or Luzon Strait depending on routing, then tracks down the South China Sea. The Philippine island chain may be visible to the east in clear conditions. The flight crosses the equatorial tropics with frequent convective cloud buildups. The Malay Peninsula coastline and Riau Islands of Indonesia appear in the final descent phase.
