Street View of Japan in 2008
Street View in Japan was launched in 2008, but is no longer fully available due to privacy concerns.
This is because the Street View car’s high-mounted cameras capture images of the inside of homes.
Google lowered the camera height and re-shot the images, and all previous ones were made private.
(However, all of the re-shot were also made private). But there is a way to see the old images by using a direct link. Example:

This is the higher camera.

Incidentally, it seems that for some reason, Street View from 2008 was released around 2021. However, it was quickly deleted.
