About Is It Visible

Our Mission

Is It Visible answers one simple question for travelers and photographers worldwide: Can I see it today?

We provide real-time visibility forecasts for the world's most iconic landmarks using advanced weather data analysis and live camera feeds. No more disappointment after traveling hours only to find your destination hidden by clouds or haze.

Whether you're planning a trip to see Mt. Fuji from Tokyo, checking current visibility conditions for landscape photography, or simply curious about whether Fuji is visible today, we deliver accurate, actionable forecasts updated every 15 minutes.

Why We Built This

Iconic landmarks like Mt. Fuji are visible only 20-30% of the year due to weather conditions, atmospheric haze, and seasonal patterns. Check real-time Mt. Fuji visibility to see current conditions. Generic weather apps don't account for the specific factors that affect landmark visibility.

After analyzing thousands of hours of live camera feeds and weather data, we built a specialized prediction system that considers:

✓Cloud cover at specific elevations (not just general clouds)
✓Atmospheric clarity and humidity levels that create haze
✓Precipitation probability affecting visibility distance
✓Time-of-day lighting conditions and sun position

The result is a 0-100 visibility score that's far more accurate than generic weather forecasts for planning landmark viewing.

What Makes Us Different

Real-Time Updates

Weather data refreshes every 15 minutes, not hourly like most weather apps. Conditions change fast - we keep you informed.

Specialized Scoring

Our visibility algorithm is purpose-built for landmark viewing, not generic weather reporting. We analyze what actually matters for seeing distant mountains.

Extended Forecasts

10-day visibility predictions help you plan trips in advance. Know the best days to visit before booking accommodations.

Live Verification

12+ live camera feeds let you verify conditions instantly. Cross-reference our predictions with real-time views.

Our Approach

We combine professional meteorological data with computer vision analysis of live camera feeds to validate and refine our predictions. Our system continuously learns from actual visibility outcomes to improve forecast accuracy.

Key Statistics:

Data Sources: Professional weather APIs with global coverage
Update Frequency: Every 15 minutes
Forecast Range: 10-day predictions
Live Cameras: 12+ feeds for Mt. Fuji alone
Launch Date: November 23, 2025

Transparency & Accuracy

We believe in complete transparency about our methodology and limitations:

•Our visibility scoring algorithm is fully documented on our Methodology page
•We disclose all data sources and their refresh rates
•Forecast accuracy decreases beyond 3-4 days (like all weather predictions)
•Mountain weather is inherently variable - we show probability, not certainty
•Local microclimates may differ from our regional forecasts

We encourage users to cross-reference our forecasts with live camera feeds and always have backup plans when traveling.
