Many Godzilla fans have likely made the pilgrimage to the "Godzilla Store" (ゴジラ・ストア) before. With four locations currently across Tokyo and Osaka, it's a monster-sized paradise that's sure to lighten any kaiju enthusiast's wallet.
The official word just dropped: the "Godzilla Store Shibuya" is set to unleash its monstrous presence at Shibuya PARCO on April 25th! Get ready to feast your eyes on an epic, colossal 2-meter tall Godzilla statue inside – none other than the iconic beast from 1995's "Godzilla vs. Destoroyah"! And get this: it glows and even transforms into its rampaging "Burning Godzilla" form, just waiting for fans to come and worship.
This Shibuya location marks the fifth Godzilla Store, joining existing spots in Tokyo's Shinjuku and Odaiba, and Osaka's Shinsaibashi and Umeda. It's also a special celebration for Godzilla's 70th anniversary!
This massive Godzilla statue isn't just a new, custom-built masterpiece for the store; it also features timed sound effects and music. Then, the entire Godzilla lights up, transforming into its berserk "Burning Godzilla" state, complete with accompanying LED screen visual effects. The whole spectacle promises to be absolutely mind-blowing!
Here's a sneak peek at what the store will look like:
To celebrate Godzilla's 70th anniversary, the "GODZILLA THE ART" exhibition series, which kicked off its tour at Shibuya PARCO, is now on its fourth installment! This new store will feature a dedicated exhibition area showcasing fresh works by renowned artist COIN PARKING DELIVERY . You'll also be able to snag limited-edition commemorative figures from past events.
And of course, no "Godzilla Store Shibuya" grand opening would be complete without exclusive store-limited merchandise – prepare for your wallets to take a serious hit, Godzilla fans! This time, the visual design cleverly blends with Shibuya's famous landmark, the "Hachiko statue," featuring a cute, sitting Hachiko next to a fiery Burning Godzilla.
Spend 3,000 JPY or more in-store and you'll score an "Opening Commemorative PR Card" featuring the store's exclusive Godzilla & Hachiko design.
What's more, the Mori Art Center Gallery on the 52nd floor of Roppongi Hills Mori Tower will host the grand finale, "Godzilla: The Art Exhibition" (ゴジラ・THE・アート展), from April 26th to June 29th. This ultimate showcase brings together masterpieces from Godzilla creators worldwide. For fans eager to immerse themselves in Godzilla's artistic allure, why not plan a visit to both locations for an ultra-luxurious kaiju art tour?
The "Godzilla Store Shibuya" is set to open its doors at Shibuya PARCO on April 25th. So, if you ever find yourself in Tokyo, you've now got another awesome Godzilla destination to add to your itinerary, alongside the existing Shinjuku and Odaiba stores!
