About fujiseat
A Tokyo-based practical Japan travel guide, starting from one simple question: which Shinkansen seat should I book to see Mt. Fuji?
Why I made this
fujiseat is made by a Japanese creator living in Tokyo.
While walking around Tokyo, I often see foreign visitors struggling with station signs, exits, transfers, and hotel locations. I have also been asked for directions several times in person, including questions about trains, platforms, and how to get to the right place. My English is not perfect, but I have tried to help whenever I could.
I also noticed that many visitors ask very specific questions before coming to Japan: which Shinkansen seat shows Mt. Fuji, where to stay if they have luggage, whether a famous station is actually easy to sleep near, or how to avoid getting lost in a large station.
fujiseat was created to help with those practical decisions before the stressful moment happens.
Independent and unofficial
fujiseat is a small independent site. It is designed to support general travel decisions, not replace official railway, hotel, airline, airport, or tourism information.
