## What is HINATA?

“Will this place get enough sunlight?”

HINATA lets you check sun position, direction, and shadow trends on a map.
Visualize how light changes by time and season, and quickly understand when and where sunlight reaches your location.

Great for
- Home/apartment viewing before visits
- Balcony or gardening light checks
- Photo/video location scouting

Main features
- Sun position and direction on map

Notes
