I'm impressed. And how much better to be able to
visit it AND help update it by mobile phone. When
nature calls in the unnatural wilderness of the Tokyo
train system, it would be nice to know whether to
take the upcoming stop, or give it a pass. You could
even do a kind of socioware app, "ima-unchi" or
something. "I'm at Sendagaya too, and I have a
tissue-packet I was handed on the street, so drop
by and save 100 yen, I'll be waiting outside the
entrance ...."
