9Pages.com has posted a link to my article at JapanTravel (formerly JapanTourist) on "Rodan's Saikai Bridge." They have a full page on Saikai, in Nagasaki Prefecture in Kyushu.
In case you are unfamiliar with the Saikai Bridge, it was featured in Rodan (1956) when the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (航空自衛隊, Kōkū Jieitai) (or JASDF) pursues one of the Rodans to Sasebo City and then later to Fukuoka City. Also featured during the Saikai Bridge sequence were the Hario Wireless Towers, which transmitted the orders (in code) to the Japanese fleet to attack Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
