See what is outside the window of your Shinkansen. - Before you board: the first screen answers "Mt. Fuji is on the Seat E side" and "In Green cars it is seat D." This holds in both directions. - Live guide on board: tap start, and the app follows your position along the line by GPS. It announces "In 1 min 30 sec, Seat E side" ahead of each highlight, then "Mt. Fuji, Seat E side" while it is visible. - Automatic left/right: the side is computed from the map bearing of the sight and the direction the train is running, so it flips correctly on up-bound trains. - Keeps going in tunnels: when GPS drops, the app estimates your position from your last speed and shows "In tunnel (estimating position)." - Live Activity: the countdown to the next highlight appears on the Lock Screen. - 85 highlights: 55 on the Tokaido Shinkansen and 30 on the Sanyo Shinkansen, across mountains, rivers, sea, lakes, castles, cities, bridges and tunnels, each with a photo tip and the best seasons. - Next station and current speed, in km/h or mph. - Japanese and English, following the system language or set by hand. The app makes no network requests. Your location stays on the device. No account, no ads. Route and station positions are derived from the National Land Numerical Information (Railway Data) published by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of Japan.
