Japan is an amazing country to visit. I have been there eight times since 2001. Besides the scenery, architecture and attractions, I also enjoy the food.
If one is a big Godzilla fan, Japan has many Godzilla-related attractions to visit. I assembled them in The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan 16 years ago (copies still available). Many attractions have been added since I published the travel guide including Godzilla's head and claw at the Hotel Gracery in Shinjuku.

Besides my travel guide, if one wants to go to Japan to find Godzilla, GajinPot Travel posted a list of 12 Godzilla-related things to see.
They begin with:
Oh, no. There goes Tokyo.
Everyone has their favorite Godzilla. Whether it’s the prolific and heroic Showa Godzilla, the heel-era Heisei Godzilla, the latest bro-Godzilla from Legendary, or the 1954 OG, you really can’t go wrong. Excluding the 1998 Jurassic Park-knockoff Godzilla from TriStar. He doesn’t count. Regardless, if you’re in Japan, you owe it to yourself to meet the big guy himself.
