A visit to Tokyo would certainly be a tremendous achievement for any bucket list, but it's not exactly easy -- let alone cheap -- for most of us to visit the Japanese mecca. In the meantime, this super high-resolution 360-degree, 150-gigapixel panorama will certainly give you a rare look-see at the mammoth city.

Over the course of six hours, photographer and 360cities.net founder Jeffery Martin captured the fascinating 600,000 pixel-wide panorama upon the roof of the lower observation deck on the Tokyo Tower. A high-powered Fujitsu computer -- packing 192GB of RAM, 2 quad-core Xeon processors, and a 4GB graphics card -- spent three months stitching together the mosaic from 10,000 individual photos captured by Martin.

Martin's rig used for the capture would certainly impress any photography enthusiast. For the job, he used a Canon 7D dSLR with a 400mm f5.6L lens attached to a Clauss Rodeon VR Head ST robotic panorama head. Amazingly, if someone was daring enough to print this Tokyo panorama, it would stretch 328 feet long and stand 124 feet tall. Can you imagine how much the ink would cost for that printout?
