The new Godzilla film Godzilla Resurgence has just been released in Japan. I would have loved to have seen it in the Toho cinema in Shinjuku, which has been designed as a shrine to Godzilla.
The cinema’s main feature is that it has a massive Godzilla
head coming out of the roof. I'd read about it, but I didn’t expect that it
would be this big/visible at street-level
The cinema also has a tasteful mosaic on the rear side
A few days into our trip, we discovered that you can visit the
top floor to see the head up-close
At the base of the head are these stone carved depictions of
the monster in action
The top floor is a hotel, and they have capitalised on the theme.
This display greets visitors as they arrive
The hotel also has a little gift shop area and a display of all
the Toho Godzilla movie posters. Well worth a visit.
