That's because you're looking at American streets.
Japanese streets are MUCH more narrow, and the raised camera of the google car can peek into many windows and private zones. There's already slew of examples around where camera recorded pictures of very private areas of the houses (considering that camera is only a few feet away).
In US, most rural area houses have front yards, and/or a path to lead up to the houses. But in Japan, there's no space for that, and rooms of the housings are literally few feet away from the road.
Think of it as someone running up, like 3 feet away from your window, and taking pictures of it.
