A travel guide to the best places to visit

Godzilla head

As you walk through the shopping district of Shinjuku you might notice that there is a giant lizard looking down on you. This lizard is of course one of the trademark monsters of Tokyo. The most famous inhabitant of Tokyo called Godzilla. And he’s very much alive!

You can’t go to Tokyo without meeting up with Godzilla himself, so keep an eye out for him. You will find the 40 feet (12-meter) tall head of Godzilla in the Kabukicho entertainment district of Tokyo, on top of Hotel Gracery Shinjuku, and peeking over the Shinjuku Toho Building, which is a towering cinema to the north of Shinjuku station. Every so often you can see Godzilla spewing fire while he growls at the crowd. Godzilla truly adds some flavour to your vacation photos, so don’t forget to take a picture of him.
