It seems Google Maps has changed a bit just recently. You can now search addresses in very high detail (after all we are talking about the whole world here), it even worked on totally countryside Finnish roads. As well as addresses in Tokyo. Try it, it's scary how effective it is.
Just write an address (if a result doesn't come up, try to write the street name only) and see Google Maps zoom to your rooftops...
(btw, apparently this feature now also works on Google Earth).
There is also another amazing feature that let's you zoom all the way up to street level, and see a 3D view. As far as I know it's only available for San Francisco, California, USA at the moment. Try it out here!
Choose "Street View" and follow the instructions, check out the Golden Gate bridge for an example.
Wish they'll make this feature for Tokyo. Sounds impossible though, with all the small streets and huge amount of people around, during any time of day.
Ah and since I mentioned Tokyo, here is a link to a site that let's you view Shinjuku, Shibuya or Ginza in 3D!
