Nijigen no Mori on Awaji Island is home to “Godzilla Interception Operation Awaji,” an attraction that features a 120-meter-long Godzilla with an accompanying zip line, the world’s only Godzilla Museum, a Godzilla themed cafe, and an extensive gift shop. Having opened in fall 2020, the interactive experience is a must-visit destination for Godzilla fans all over the world.
Godzilla Interception Operation Awaji features an original Godzilla story as part of the attraction. Visitors can watch a short movie briefing them on their mission to survey Godzilla, which has been forced into a sleeping state. From there, visitors can take part in the surveillance unit operation and zip line into a life-sized King of the Monsters. But the mission doesn’t stop there. Visitors must also destroy hostile Godzilla cells through a shooting game before considering the operation complete.
