About Godzilla Interception Operation
Godzilla Interception Operation is themed around a full-scale, 120-meter-long Godzilla that has landed on Awaji Island, offering a one-of-a-kind entertainment attraction where visitors can truly feel Godzilla's overwhelming scale and power.
Participants join the National Godzilla Awaji Island Research Center and take on missions such as a "zip line" through the meticulously detailed interior of Godzilla's body and a "shooting game" to eliminate scattered Godzilla cells.
The attraction also features a wealth of indoor experiences, including the permanent Godzilla Museum—the world's first of its kind—and Kaiju no Mori, a kids' area where children can freely play with around 50 types of kaiju soft vinyl figures. Merchandise from the National Godzilla Awaji Island Research Center, as well as food inspired by the world of Godzilla Interception Operation, is also available.
