"Mothra" is a monster that is particularly popular among the Godzilla series, with three films released in the "Heisei Mothra Series" from 1996 to 1998. This special exhibition is dedicated to the Heisei Mothra series, and you can enjoy the display of various "Mothra" works.

With the cooperation of Toho Eizo Bijutsu, we will be exhibiting a variety of filming props that appeared in the "Heisei Mothra Series"! This is a special exhibition that fans must see!

In addition, there are plenty of exhibits, including a Mothra egg and a giant 4m panel, that allow you to experience the brave figure of Mothra as she fights to protect people and the Earth as a guardian deity!

A popularity vote is also being held!

The first round of popularity polls for monsters that appeared in the "Heisei Mothra Series" are currently being held at the venue! The Mothra that takes first place may be available as a novelty item after the voting period ends! We look forward to your enthusiastic votes from fans who say, "I love this Mothra!" 🔥

What is the Godzilla interception operation?

"Godzilla Intercept Operation" is themed on the world's largest life-sized Godzilla that landed on Awaji Island, and is the only entertainment attraction in the world where you can fully experience Godzilla's power and force. Participants become members of the National Godzilla Awajishima Research Center, and after receiving an explanation of the "Godzilla Intercept Operation" that unfolds against Godzilla that appeared on Awaji Island through a movie-like attraction video produced by Toho, they will challenge the "Zip Line" and "Anti-Godzilla Cell Shooting" attractions. The adjacent "Godzilla Museum," the world's first permanent museum, exhibits spectacular dioramas that make you feel like you are experiencing scenes from the movie right in front of you, with the cooperation of Toho Eizo Bijutsu Co., Ltd., which has been responsible for the special effects art of Godzilla movies.
