The Godzilla Head at Toho Cinemas Shinjuku in Kabukichō overlooks the entertainment district from the building’s rooftop. Installed in 2015, the sculpture was created as part of the Toho Cinemas Shinjuku complex and is one of Shinjuku’s best-known landmarks. It periodically emits sound, smoke, and light effects modeled on Godzilla’s atomic breath.
