What difference is there when I use https://www.google.co.jp for searching rather than https://www.google.co.uk/maps?

The map is the same so I am unable to understand what the difference between both URLs would be. What difference does the top-level domain actually make in real life?

The primary difference in most cases would probably be which servers respond to the request. For Google specifically, for non-map requests, using .co.jp vs co.uk could affect the language displayed (visiting https://google.co.jp in English offers a language choice between English and Japanese) and subtly alter search results.
