What it does
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. 🚄🗻
Plan your Japan trip with one tool. Find the Mt. Fuji seat on the Shinkansen, compare Tokyo stay areas, airport transfers, and a 7-day itinerary. Built by a Japanese creator.
Then choose your Tokyo hotel base, rail option, and arrival prep in the right order. Then choose your Tokyo hotel base, rail option, and arrival prep in the right order. Based on publicly available information from JR Central [view source] · This is an independent, unofficial tool and not endorsed by any JR company. Seat info is provided as-is; always follow official guidance at stations and on trains. Choose Seat E if available, then book the simple Tokyo to Kyoto / Osaka ticket. Use this if your route includes Hiroshima, multiple long JR rides, or a return to Tokyo. Each step links to the tool or guide that answers it in about a minute. Choose your Tokyo hotel base before booking hotels.…from fujiseat.com

Tokyo TrainsAug 2026 · greggman.github.io · ▲13Semi inspired by the 3d Shinjuku station that was posted again recently, I noticed it was missing a large portion of the "complex" where "complex" is defined loosly has how far you can walk without stepping outside. So I asked Claude to make a 3d map of all Tokyo Trains, no libraries, and let you zoom into stations, and the first version with both map and the Shinjuku complex was ready in about 3 hours. It spent another 7 or so in various nit picky things I asked for to get to the current version. I know these will only get better but I think the thing I find most interesting is no libraries…
