The Next Web.com (TNW) is reporting that Japan is the most popular country for people who use Google Street View.

It happens that Sendai, Japan is one of the more popular places in Japan for Street View eyeballers.

According to the article:

Japan is attracting all of the attention when it comes to Google Street View — the service that provides 360-degree images of locations, landmarks and cities — in Asia. That’s according to data released by Google for the first time today. 

Now with nine countries from Asia on the service, the Internet giant has tracked global traffic to Street View in the region. The findings overwhelmingly show that Japanese places are drawing more eyeballs than anywhere else in the continent.

Near Sendai is Matsushima, one of my favorite areas of Japan. For this blog post, I did a Street View of Matsushima Bay with the Godaido Temple in the background (I visited Godaido in 2006). Street View is easy to use (I used the Japanese site for the Matsushima picture and it was still easy to use, despite not knowing Japanese), so give it a try.
