The exhibition focuses exclusively on the Heisei Mothra series, showcasing various works featuring this beloved kaiju who stands as one of the most popular monsters in the Godzilla franchise.

About Godzilla Interception Operation
The Godzilla Interception Operation attraction centers around a full-scale, 120-meter-long Godzilla that has landed on Awaji Island—the world's largest installation of its kind. This unique entertainment experience allows visitors to truly feel Godzilla's immense power and scale.
Participants join the National Godzilla Awaji Island Research Center to undertake various missions, including a zip line that penetrates Godzilla's meticulously detailed body interior and a shooting game where players eliminate scattered Godzilla cells.
The facility also houses the world's first permanent Godzilla Museum, along with "Kaiju no Mori," a kids' area featuring approximately 50 types of kaiju soft vinyl toys available for unlimited play. The venue offers an array of merchandise from the National Godzilla Awaji Island Research Center and serves food items that capture the atmosphere of the Godzilla Interception Operation universe.
Grand Chariot Hokuto Shichisei 135° Godzilla Collaboration Room
To celebrate Godzilla's 70th anniversary, the accommodation facility Grand Chariot Hokuto Shichisei 135° offers the "Kaijuland" collaboration room, where kaiju from throughout Godzilla's film history have gathered.
The room features interior decorations and tapestries depicting various Godzilla incarnations and popular kaiju. Guests can view part of the actual-size Godzilla through the window. Special processing allows these elements to change appearance depending on light conditions, creating different atmospheres during day and night. A "special mission" challenges guests to locate all hidden kaiju throughout the room, with luxurious rewards for successful completion.
