Yeah, it's all in Google Maps and Gmap Pedometer (http://gmap-pedometer.com) and Wikipedia Japan and image searches on Google. I've never been in that end of the country either-- I picked my wished-for locations in March, in Montreal, so I picked Waseda for my top choice and "send me somewhere warm!" for the other two.

Of course, being in North Carolina in July right now, I'm thinking the opposite.
