I’ve made a map of mostly “places to see” in Japan, just under 6000 locations at present.

Here is the map link:

No photospheres, but there will be some trekkers. I have generally ensured that fair clues were reachable within a reasonable time, but there are exceptions especially for locations chosen mostly for their scenic interest. The overall difficulty shouldn’t be too high though – a seasoned Japan map player should instantly recognize at least half of the locations.

The idea behind the map was to give a reasonably diverse “sightseeing” view of the country. There will appear lots of shrines and temples, museums, historic sites, and notable structures like train stations, airports, bridges. Every island with Streetview coverage is represented with at least one location. I have tried to make locations as pinpointable as possible, and also included one Hawaii location to increase the toleranace for mislocated pins. Links below:
