Fans are familiar with the two Godzilla statues in Tokyo: one in Hibiya and the other at the entrance to Toho Studios in Setagaya.
As previously mentioned, there's a Godzilla statue at the Hamano Hot Springs Resort at Izu Oshima, which is a two-hour hydrofoil ride from Tokyo.
This link will take you to a photo of it.

Also, there is a Godzilla statue in Morioka in the Tohoku region of northern Japan, which is 77 miles northeast of Sendai. At the time I was putting together The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan, I was unable to confirm its existence (the most recent post on it was in 2006) or get information on its location. I wouldn't want to send fans on a "wild goose chase" to see it. If I am able to confirm its existence and location, I would include it in an updated version of The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan.
I am currently checking with a person who went to see it. I will report further once I hear back.
In the meantime, here is a link to a photo of the statue in Morioka.
