No, it was not Godzilla, but something large and also extremely rare in the waters of Tokyo Bay off Miura, Kanagawa Prefecture (not far from Yokosuka).

According to The Japan Times:

YOKOSUKA, KANAGAWA PREF. – A rare giant squid was caught in Tokyo Bay after a number of the species were spotted earlier this year along the coast of the Sea of Japan, officials from a local aquarium said. 

It is unusual for giant squid to be found along the Pacific coast and in Tokyo Bay. The squid, classified as Architeuthis, measured about 3.6 meters long and weighed about 24 kg. 

The giant squid is the largest invertebrate animal and typically lives in the deep sea.
