There is a lot to see in this panorama. Look around and you'll find plenty. In the far off distance to the center right you can see that the big shopping mall on the outskirts of the city phenomena has come to Japan. When I first arrived 10 years ago, most cities still had a downtown core for shopping. In North America, we started moving 'shopping' to the outskirts about 20 years ago. This process is now in full swing here in Japan. In my area alone (a medium-sized working class city) I can think of 8 new malls that have sprung up in the last 5 years.
The tall building at the far right is supposed to look like a harmonica from the side. Hamamatsu is the home of the musical instrument business in Japan. In the center of the panorama you can see the main R&D center for Yamaha Musical Instruments company. In the lasrge white factory behind and around the main office is the final assembly location for Yamaha's grand pianos. They are priced at over $100,000. This is version 2.0 of this Gigapan panorama using a polarizing filter and corrected camera settings. This is also the biggest gigapan I've made yet at about 480 photos. It took about 30 minutes to snap everything. http://www.popbunka.com/ http://www.ponponcoffee.com/ http://popbunka.hamazo.tv/ |

This is a shot looking south from Bentenjima Koen towards the Pacific Ocean. You can see the famous Torii or red gate and the Hamanako Bypass Bridge. A couple of my friends managed to get themselves into the photo twice. Can you find them? Also have a look at the people fishing in the rental boats.

Another view of the tea fields in Kakegawa, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. This was taken about 15 minutes after the other panorama. The sun has risen a little higher and the picture has lost a little of its depth. The camera is actually situated in one of the rows.
