Aerial and satellite imagery data for Japan

Partial open imagery Open orthophotos or high-resolution imagery exist, but only for limited areas such as regions or cities.

GSI serves a seamless national photo tile layer and year-by-year and historical (from 1928) aerial photo tiles under its PDL1.0-compatible terms; GSD is not stated for the seamless layer, and original aerial photographs are sold.
