"Godzilla Interception Operation" Overview (Reference)
"Godzilla Interception Operation" is an entertainment attraction themed around a full-scale, 120-meter Godzilla that has landed on Awaji Island, letting visitors truly experience its overwhelming scale and power. Participants join as members of the National Godzilla Awaji Island Research Center and take on missions such as a "zipline" that enters the meticulously detailed interior of Godzilla, and a "shooting game" to eliminate scattered Godzilla cells.
The attraction also features indoor facilities including the "Godzilla Museum" and a kids' area called "Kaijuu no Mori," where young children can freely enjoy approximately 50 types of monster soft vinyl figures. Merchandise from the National Godzilla Awaji Island Research Center, along with food themed around the world of "Godzilla Interception Operation," is also available.
"Godzilla Interception Operation" also offers a wide range of Godzilla merchandise, with numerous original items such as hats and figures available for purchase. Wearing a cool hat or a cute headband while experiencing the attraction lets you enjoy the world of Godzilla with even greater immersion.
