If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a Quicktime VR panorama may be worth ten times more. (Depending on your equipment, it may take up to 10 images or more to stitch a panoramic picture.) So for you out there who long to visit Tokyo but have neither time nor money to do so, these panoramic pictures should substitute for the real thing.
And if you’d like to explore a bit more, you could pay a visit to 360 Cities Tokyo page and Shizuya Hiruharu’s excellent Guruguru 360 page (where most of 360 Cities’ panoramas come from). These are clickable maps of Tokyo showing the locations of the panoramas. I highly recommend viewing the panoramas full screen on Guruguru’s page (something not possible from 360 Cities’ page [edit: it's possible now]).
