Hi-res aerials of Japan

A golf writer friend wants aerial views of the Hirono and Kawana golf courses as reference for routing maps in a book.
There must be a Japanese equivalent of Google and MS maps but gaijin search engines are recalcitrant.
Sorry if this has been covered before :confused:

Google's satellite maps cover Japan but often not in very high res. I don't know of any similar Japanese satellite services.

Try this post on a topic I follow on another forum for some maps & aerial photos.

Oh man that was awesome. I figured I'd look for some easy landmark I know like Mt. Hakodate. A little search, found a little map indicating the location of each aerial photo. The first pic I hit was right on target, the 400DPI version (warning: 2.2MB pic)was incredibly detailed.
Great site.

Cool site. Here's the hi-def photo of the one of the photos that smellsliketignesspirit wanted so terrorists could better target the Kawana Golf Course.
