Back in 1995, the Fukuoka Dome was used in Gamera, The Guardian of the Universe to try to trap three maneating Gyaos birds.
The Fukuoka Dome opened on April 2, 1993. It was renamed the "Fukuoka Yahoo! Japan Dome" on February 2, 2005 when Yahoo Japan purchased the rights.
In January 2013, it was again renamed the "Fukuoka Yafuoku! Dome" to promote the Yahoo! auctions website in Japan. It's part of the Hawks Town commercial complex that contains a hotel and shopping mall in addition to the stadium.
Looks like I will have to change another thing in the revised edition of The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan.
