Street View in Japan reaches almost every road, from Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south. Narrow streets, dense utility poles and kanji on signs make the country easy to recognise; finding the right island and prefecture is the challenge.
Pin the exact spot. Walk, look around, zoom.
Country mode is not offered here: every round would have the same answer.
What you will see
Towns, villages and country roads from all over the country. The guess map opens on the whole of it, and because the map is small, every kilometre counts for far more than on the world map.
How to recognize Japan
- Traffic drives on the left
- Japanese characters on signs
- Small white or yellow plate with Japanese characters
- Concrete utility poles along the road
- Narrow roads with no kerb, a painted edge line and blue direction signs in Japanese.
Scoring on this map
Points scale with the size of the map. Here a guess 220 km off earns about 2,500 of the 5,000 points; on the world map the same score allows about 1,030 km.
