The anime theme park Nijigen no Mori on Awaji Island is running a summer-limited special mission called "Splash Godzilla 2026" at its popular attraction Godzilla Interception Operation, from July 10 (Friday) to September 30 (Wednesday), 2026.
A staple of summer at the park, this event features a thoroughly soaking zipline experience: as guests glide through the wide-open mouth of a stationary Godzilla on the "Internal Course," a massive water cannon fires straight up from below, drenching riders in an instant.
New this year is the "Soaking Wet SNS Video Campaign." Visitors who post a video of their dripping-wet selves on Instagram or TikTok with the designated hashtags can receive an exclusive Godzilla Interception Operation original merchandise item right on the spot — making for a fun social media moment on top of the ride itself.

About Godzilla Interception Operation
Godzilla Interception Operation is an entertainment attraction themed around a life-size, 120-meter Godzilla that has landed on Awaji Island. Participants take on the role of members of the National Godzilla Awaji Island Research Center, taking on missions that include a zipline through the intricately detailed interior of Godzilla's body and a shooting game to eliminate dispersed Godzilla cells.
The facility also features the world's first permanent "Godzilla Museum," a kids' area called "Kaijū no Mori" (Monster Forest) where children can freely play with approximately 50 types of monster figurines, and a range of other indoor attractions. Godzilla-themed food and original National Godzilla Awaji Island Research Center merchandise are also available on-site.
A wide range of Godzilla goods is on offer at the park — including hats, figures, and other items exclusive to Nijigen no Mori. Wearing stylish hats or cute headbands while taking on the attraction deepens immersion in the world of Godzilla.
