Google Street View Special Collection: Japan’s Major Tourist Attractions

Google has added a special collection of famous Japanese tourist sites to the Street View section of its Google Maps site:

Instead of using their usual camera car, Google sent its staff into the grounds of famous temples, parks, and shopping areas. This allowed them to get some really nice close-ups from attractions such as the Kamakura Daibutsu, the Hiroshima A-bomb Dome, and Miyajima’s Itsukushima Shine. They even created a virtual stroll through Sapporo’s Maruyama Zoo!

Here’s a list of themed street view galleries for Japan:

dammit man
japan are through to the final now. and there doing it playing a modern (“Cuidar la pelota”) passing game with a #10 who knows how to pick a pass. They have every chance against the U.S. who were lucky to beat France. What’s going on, is Japan going mad or does nobody care (I’m hoping that its at least somewhere in-between the two)
