Japan's beloved antagonist Godzilla is back, and how. The destructive monster, known for flattening skyscrapers with a single blow, will no longer be known as a danger to humanity but as the tourism ambassador for Tokyo's Shinjuku ward.
The official announcement was made on Thursday at the unveiling of a life-sized (171-foot) Godzilla head that sits atop the eighth floor balcony of the Godzilla-themed Hotel Gracery in Shinjuku. The building also houses an office of Toho, the studio responsible for making the original Godzilla film in 1954, along with other special themed rooms.
We're sure every Godzilla fan would want to stay at this hotel. According to kotaku.com, the Godzilla Room is available for 39,800 yen (US$ 334) during weekdays and 49,800 yen ($417) during weekends and holidays. The two Godzilla View Rooms would cost about 15,000 yen ($125) per night.
