View Full Version : You Can Go To Tokyo For FREE

Tokyo, Osaka, Sendai (where I live), and their surrounding areas are now available on Google Street View. I provided a link below, plopping the Google Street View man in the middle of Toyko's famed Shibuya Crossing.

Spend hours looking for cars, or enter in addresses (in Japanese) of shops you know and see what kind of cars they got parked out in front. Or...you can look for hot chicks.

Have fun in Japan!

Spoon Sports Headquarters (It's tiny delapitated building).
You can see the blue Spoon Sports Cargo Van with the SPOON sticker in front.

Type One (Spoon's shop).
You can see a CT-R in the service bay and a S2000 sticking out on the side of the building

I would if I could. Whoever was driving that camera car didn't go all the way up the street where I live.

This is the closest I can get, my apartment is further up that hill.
My apartment is marked by the "A" marker if you scroll a bit north on the map,
but you have to cancel the street view picture, first.

By reading the title, I thought you meant free by teaching english in Japan. But this google map thing still gets the job done.

I like how you can go down the streets and rotate the camera to see a 360 degree view.

wow, you can zoom in as if your in a helicopter. Why cant I do it in USA? :(


I just went to Osaka and found a bas ass 80's civic hatch.
