Web
Cams in Japan
A map of Japan
linked to many webcams all over Japan. Want to know what
it looks like right now in Tokyo? Take a look.
Just remember that Japan is 14 hours ahead of the West Coast
of the US. Sunrise in Tokyo is around 4pm California. I
really recommend the cam in Abashiri.

Geographical
Survey Institue Japan
The GSI
is responsible for the basic mapping and surveying of Japan.
Their web site contains relatively few web resources - but
many "real world" resources.
Watch out for 200K GIFs though....
