About Godzilla Interception Operation
Godzilla Interception Operation is an entertainment attraction centered on a life-size 120-meter Godzilla that landed on Awaji Island, immersing visitors in the sheer scale and power of the iconic monster. Participants join as members of the National Godzilla Awaji Island Research Center and take on missions, including a zipline that sends them into the body of the meticulously detailed Godzilla, as well as a shooting game to eliminate scattered Godzilla cells.
The attraction also features permanent indoor facilities: the Godzilla Museum, and Kaijyu no Mori (Forest of Monsters), a kids' area for younger children with around 50 types of monster soft vinyl figures and more to play with freely. Original merchandise and Godzilla Interception Operation-themed food are also available on-site.
The merchandise corner features a wide range of Godzilla goods, including Nijigen no Mori-exclusive original items such as stylish hats, cute headbands, glasses, figurines, and snacks — perfect for enjoying inside the attraction or taking home as souvenirs.
