Yeah its interesting to see Akihabara with the google street map. I wonder why it just debuted in Japan now when the US had it for a while now.
I guess that Google had a limited number of its camera vehicles to send out, and maybe some kind of negotiations with the Japanese government were needed as well.
Australia just got Street View at the same time as Japan.
And it's only natural for Google to run the technology locally before going international.
Oh wow they have a street view of Tokyo now. The last time I tried to get a close up view of Tokyo using google maps it told me that the image was not available.
