Godzilla trampled through one of its wings in 1954. King Kong stood on its tower in 1962. Mothra used it to to go through metamorphosis to change from a caterpillar to moth in 1992. A battling Godzilla and Mechagodzilla crushed it in 2003.
The National Diet Building didn't get any respect over the past 60 years from kaiju.
Tokyoing.net has a spotlight article on the National Diet Building in Tokyo.
They wrote in part:
National Diet Building is located in Chiyoda-ward of the center of Tokyo. This building has the history of more than 70 years and is worth looking. The building is symmetric. The house of Representatives is placed on the left side, and the House of Councilors is placed on right side.It is also spotlighted in The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan due to its history in daikaiju eiga.
