Live Webcams in Japan

Japan's live webcams begin in Tokyo and radiate outward: the great pedestrian crossings and the neon districts of the capital, jets sliding into the airport on the bay, a rain-soaked walk through the back streets; then a dawn drive through Kyoto, the coast at Kamakura, the lake and the volcano at Hakone, and a post road through the Kiso Valley. The live webcams in Japan keep Japan Standard Time, UTC+9, with no daylight saving, so a European breakfast is Japan's early evening, the hour the crossings and the neon are at their best. Some 125 million people live here, 37 million of them in the Tokyo metropolitan area alone. Late March brings cherry blossom from Kyoto to Tokyo over about two weeks; November the autumn colour, in the same order.
