Overview
What it is
In Japan, locals know that if you want to see Mt. Fuji from the Shinkansen, you should book seat E. Many foreign travelers don’t, and end up on the ocean side, staring at nothing. Instead of another complex timetable app, I built the simplest possible tool that answers just one question: “Which seat should I book for a Mt. Fuji view?” I hacked it together over a weekend using AI. If you have friends coming to Japan, please share it with them so they don’t miss Fuji. 🚄🗻
