Find a destination and camera on the map
The map shows 489 public cameras. Choose a region or a theme such as cherry blossoms or snow, then compare what each camera shows. Each detail page links to the operator’s video or updated images.
Are these public webcams or private CCTV feeds?
These are publicly shared views from official operators, not access to private or security CCTV systems. Some sources offer live video; others update still images. Check the source’s timestamp and broadcast status for the latest view.
Check travel weather alongside the camera view
Choose a camera to see the next 24 hours of temperature and rain probability for its prefecture’s reference city. Conditions can differ at mountain, island and coastal destinations; read how to use the forecast before relying on it.

More than a directory of camera links
Each camera page identifies its operator, location and field of view. It distinguishes live video from updated still images and links to the operator when a preview is unavailable here.
