Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Kimhae to Tokyo. The right side wins overall because the Gimhae departure offers genuinely dramatic geography — the Nakdong delta, Busan harbor, and the Korea Strait opening — which is more visually rewarding than either side of the Narita approach. During the cruise over the Sea of Japan and East China Sea, the right side also faces south toward the Tsushima Strait and occasionally the Japanese coast of Kyushu as the route curves northeast, giving intermittent land views that the left side misses.

During takeoff from Gimhae International (PUS), sit on the Right side for the best views. Gimhae's primary departure runway 36L/36R sends aircraft northward over the Nakdong River delta and Busan's urban core. The right side gives you a clear look at the Nakdong River estuary spreading across the lowlands, with the Busan metropolitan area visible to the southeast. You also get views toward the Korea Strait as the aircraft banks right onto its eastbound heading. Notable sights include: Nakdong River estuary and delta wetlands, Busan city center and harbor, Korea Strait opening to the south, Geoje Island visible in the distance.

When landing at New Tokyo International (NRT), sit on the Left side for the best views. NRT's primary arrival runway 34L brings aircraft in from the south-southwest over Chiba Prefecture. The left side faces east toward the Pacific and gives a clear view of Tokyo Bay's full expanse, the reclaimed land of Urayasu and Chiba's industrial waterfront, and the bay's geometry as you descend. The right side faces inland toward suburban Chiba sprawl with less visual interest. Notable sights include: Tokyo Bay and its reclaimed shoreline, Chiba city waterfront and industrial port, Urayasu reclaimed land district, Boso Peninsula coastline to the east.

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

The flight crosses the Korea Strait and Tsushima Island (visible as a forested island roughly midway between Korea and Japan), then transits the Sea of Japan before crossing the western coast of Honshu near the Chugoku region. The route then passes over or near the Kii Peninsula and descends across the Pacific side of central Honshu toward Chiba. Tsushima Island is the most distinctive midpoint landmark, appearing as a long narrow forested island in the strait below.
