Godzilla Appears In Shinjuku

Godzilla fans now have another reason to visit Tokyo. The 12 meter (39 foot) head of The King of the Monsters now peers over the new (still under construction) Toho Cinemas in the Kabukicho section of Shinjuku.

According to Rocket News 24:

Each neighborhood of Tokyo has its own unique feel, but it’s hard to top Shinjuku. Located in the heart of downtown, Shinjuku has just about everything you could ask for in a modern metropolis, boasting such attractions as a beautiful garden, extensive shopping options, an uncountable array of restaurants and bars, and the RocketNews24 offices. 

And now, there’s one more reason to come to Shinjuku. A big one in fact, as the King of the Monsters, Godzilla himself, is literally watching over the district in the form of a life-size replica of the creature’s head peering down from one of its skyscrapers.
