FujiView!

Never miss Mt. Fuji from the Tokaido Shinkansen. "I looked up and we'd already passed it." "I was watching a video and missed it." "I didn't know which side to look." FujiView! exists to make sure that never happens again. ■ Alerted the moment it comes into view As your train approaches the best viewing spots for Mt. Fuji along the Tokaido Shinkansen, your iPhone notifies you automatically. No timetables to check. No maps to stare at. ■ Watching a video? We'll still tell you. FujiView! runs in the background. Whether you're watching a video, listening to music, or have your screen locked, you'll get the alert at exactly the right moment. ■ Two-step alerts 1. "Mt. Fuji Coming Up!" Time to get ready — and get your camera out. 2. "Mt. Fuji Now!" The moment it's actually visible. A single last-second alert isn't enough. That's why we split it into two. ■ Either direction. No setup required. Heading to Tokyo or to Shin-Osaka? The app detects your direction of travel automatically — no configuration needed before you board. It even tells you which side to look: "Look out the right window" or "Look out the left window." Perfect for first-time riders and visitors from overseas. ■ How to use 1. Launch the app once you're on board 2. Tap "Enable Fuji Alert" 3. Relax and enjoy your trip When the notification arrives, just look out the window. That's it. ■ Who it's for - Travelers looking forward to seeing Mt. Fuji - Anyone who wants to focus on work or reading without missing the view - Parents who want to show Mt. Fuji to their children - Visitors to Japan riding the Shinkansen for the first time - Frequent business travelers and commuters ■ Important: before you ride iPhone may mistake Shinkansen speeds for driving a car and automatically turn on "Driving" Focus mode. When this happens, notifications won't appear on your screen. The app includes a simple "Pre-ride Setup" guide that walks you through the fix. It takes about a minute, once — and then alerts will reliably come through. ■ About notification timing Alerts are based on GPS satellite signals, which are independent of cellular network coverage. However, in long tunnels or areas surrounded by mountains, the GPS signal itself may be unavailable, which can shift notification timing by several seconds relative to the actual view. When GPS is briefly lost, the app estimates your position from your last known speed and direction — though this has limits in very long tunnels. Thank you for your understanding. ■ Supported line Tokaido Shinkansen (Tokyo — Shin-Osaka) Works on Nozomi, Hikari, and Kodama. ■ About ads FujiView! is free to use.
