One of the most underrated and underappreciatatted movies is Godzilla’s Revenge 1969 (ゴジラ・ミニラ・ガバラ オール怪獣大進撃). I thought I would never say that. But as I’ve grown older, I love this move more and more. While doing research this morning and reading Godzilla Toho Champion Festival Perfection 1969-1978 (ゴジラ東宝チャンピオンまつりパーフェクシオン published by Kadokawa in 2014, 176 pages) I came across the great section “Champion Godzilla Location Exploration” (チャンピオンゴジラ ロケ地探訪, p 162). I love what the writer said, “It is no exaggeration to say that the place where the Godzilla movie was set and the location where the films were shot are “sacred places” for us fans,”「ゴジラ映画の舞台となった場所、撮影が行われたロケ地は、私たちファンにとっては「聖地」と言っても過言ではない。」(円山). In the book, I found Godzilla places I had identified before and those I have not. Today, let’s identity one of them, the trail of the latchkey kid Ichiro Mitsuki (played by Tomonori Yazaki) from Godzilla’s Revenge.
