For Godzilla fans who are interested in seeing locations used in the movies, Yokohama is a good place to go.
Yokohama's Minato Mirai 21 area was the battleground used in two movies, Godzilla vs. Mothra (1992) and Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001).

There is more than enough to fill a day in Yokohama, so our itinerary is just a suggestion: pick and choose to make your ideal day trip!
