Those of you who want to see the Saikai Bridge that Rodan blew down, the Fukuoka Tower that Godzilla toppled over or the domed stadium that Gamera trashed, you may want to take advantage of the discount drive that the Japanese government and travel-related companies are spearheading to get more visitors to Kyushu.

According to the Chicago Tribune:
