Godzilla and The Yurakucho Mullion

Going through some photo albums, I found a photo of Harumi-Dori looking towards Ginza from Hibiya.

I took it back in 2001 as I recalled a similar shot in Return of Godzilla (1984) (a.k.a. Godzilla 1985) in which Godzilla is about to approach the Yurakucho Mullion Building and pick up a shinkansen from its tracks after collapsing the street and clawing the Yurakucho Mullion.

Before the Yurakucho Mullion was built, the property was once occupied by the cake-shaped Toho Nichigeki Theater (featured in the 1954 Godzilla).  Inside the Yurakucho Mullion Building, there a modern Toho Nichigeki Theater.  I screened Space Battleship Yamato in this theater in 2010.
