About this audio guide
This guide to the Godzilla Head in Tokyo's Kabukicho district follows the character's six decades of only ever visiting the city to destroy it on screen, born in 1954 out of real fear of nuclear tests. It traces how Toho Studios chose to let Godzilla move in instead, when the Shinjuku Toho Building opened in April 2015 on the site of the old Koma Theater. Listen for the hourly roar, and watch the smoke and blue eyes above the street.
