Overview

Godzilla Interception Operation Awaji is a permanent theme park attraction located within the Nijigen no Mori park on Awaji Island. The centerpiece is a life-sized, 120-meter-long Godzilla replica embedded in the ground, representing the monster after being intercepted by the National Awaji Island Institute of Godzilla Disaster. Visitors act as researchers, participating in an interactive zip-line course that simulates entering the creature’s body. The site includes a dedicated Godzilla museum featuring original props, dioramas, and film production materials. A shooting game experience challenges participants to destroy Godzilla cells before they cause further damage. The attraction is built upon the premise of a unique narrative where Godzilla was lured to Awaji Island by a local incident. It utilizes AR technology to immerse guests in the mission objectives. The facility integrates outdoor physical activities with indoor exhibition spaces.

Photo spot

Insider tips

Wear secure, closed-toe footwear as the zip-line and outdoor activities require physical movement.

Check the weather forecast, as outdoor attractions, including the zip-line, may suspend operations during heavy rain or high winds.

Download the official park app or site map in advance to navigate the sprawling forest grounds efficiently.

What to avoid

Do not underestimate the amount of walking required to traverse the large Nijigen no Mori park grounds between the parking area and the Godzilla zone.

Etiquette

Follow all safety harnesses instructions provided by the staff for the zip-line; loose items like phones must be secured in provided lockers.
