In addition, there are plenty of exhibits, including a Mothra egg and a giant 4m panel, that allow you to experience the brave figure of Mothra as she fights to protect people and the Earth as a guardian deity!

What is Godzilla Interception Operation?

“Operation Godzilla Interceptor” is a one-of-a-kind entertainment attraction themed around the world’s largest life-size Godzilla that landed on Awaji Island, allowing visitors to fully experience Godzilla’s might and power. Participants become members of the National Godzilla Awajishima Research Center and, through a film-like attraction video produced by Toho, are given an explanation of the “Operation Godzilla Interceptor,” which unfolds against Godzilla’s appearance on Awaji Island. Afterwards, they take on attractions such as the “Zip Line” and the “Godzilla Cell Shooting.” The adjacent Godzilla Museum, the world’s first permanent facility, features spectacular dioramas and other exhibits that bring scenes from the film to life, with the cooperation of Toho Visual Arts, the company responsible for the special effects art of Godzilla films.

Let’s stay at “Kaiju Land”!

To commemorate the 70th anniversary of “Godzilla,” a Godzilla collaboration room called “Kaiju Land” has opened, bringing together all the monsters that have appeared in the Godzilla films to date.
This room features interior décor and tapestries depicting past Godzillas and other popular monsters, as well as a life-size portion of Godzilla visible through the window. Special processing has been applied to these elements to change their appearance depending on the light shining on them, allowing you to enjoy different indoor atmospheres during the day and at night.
You can also enjoy exclusive novelties that can only be obtained here, such as acrylic blocks featuring posters from past Godzilla films.

Accommodation here!

Since 2008, the Pasona Group has been collaborating with local governments and local stakeholders on Awaji Island in Hyogo Prefecture, working on a unique regional revitalization project by attracting a diverse range of talent. In 2013, the “Awaji Manga and Anime Island Project” was selected as one of the “Private Business Proposals for Awajishima Prefectural Park” projects that Hyogo Prefecture publicly solicited. The group is now working with Hyogo Prefecture to revitalize the region by attracting new tourists, taking advantage of the magnificent natural beauty of the 134.8 hectare prefectural park.
