Which city does this look like? Miyazaki?

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Looks like... Florida? They're driving on the right side of the road so it's not Japan.

That long bridge does not look like the "overseas highway" on the Florida keys.

ie: the 7 mile bridge.

ST. Petersburg ?

The houses are unmistakably American. The roads are as well. It's a commercial shot in America for the Japanese market.

Ok found it.

The bridge is in Tampa Florida.

It can be seen on Google map.

It has an un mistakable curve to it and the other bridgework coming from the far shore. Also the large round bridge abutments lining the center span. No question.

As to the intersection in the city, and highway. Likely same area, done at the same time in the photo shoot, but cannot confirm. The street or highway signs are unreadable.

i work with a lot of pro athletes in japan, they tend to do their winter training camps in an area called bradenton in florida. most of japan's pro baseball players, golfers, tennis players, etc. can be found in the st. petersburg and bradenton areas in winter time.
