movie, Godzilla ? You can see a real Tokyo city with the Diet Building, Tower of Tokyo, or sometimes

with Osaka castle in Osaka-city and other famous places of Japan in miniature on this movie. At that time

we didn't have a special effects of trick shot, so Japanese built all landscape in details in miniature.
