The Japanese relied HEAVILY on float and Seaplanes during the war for recon work. this was one of the reasons for their defeat at Midway. One of the float planes from the Cruiser Tone was let getting airborne and sighted the US fleet too late for Nagumo to attack it efficiently. As for where their main seaplane bases and such were located, I will have to get back to you on that.
