Godzilla Head

Perched atop the Toho Cinema building in the heart of Kabukicho, this life-sized replica of the 1992 Godzilla head is a striking tribute to Japan's most famous kaiju. It is worth visiting to experience Shinjuku's neon-drenched, cinematic atmosphere and to hear the beast roar and spit mist on the hour. Expect a quick but memorable photo opportunity from the street below, or get up close if you are a hotel guest or cafe patron.
