The first diorama was first exhibited on March 1st of this year and featured a Godzilla design based on the Heisei "VS" Series of the 1990s. Many visitors from Japan and abroad enjoyed the elaborately re-created world of "Godzilla" with the monster's sharp teeth, eyes, and facial expressions, as well as a cityscape and fleeing people. The diorama also featured original AR photo frames for visitors to enjoy taking pictures simply by reading the QR code with the camera function of their smart phones.
The second diorama replaced the first this past Saturday, July 1st. For the second exhibition the Godzilla suit from the movie GODZILLA VS MEGAGUIRUS (ゴジラ×メガギラス G消滅作戦 Gojira Ekkusu Megagirasu: Jī Shōmetsu Sakusen, 2000) was used, and the stage was changed to an industrial complex. The buildings and cranes, which have been meticulously detailed, are also a highlight of the display. For even greater realism, a new sound system has been prepared with the cooperation of Toho Visual Art Co. A unique experience awaits visitors, as if Godzilla is gradually closing in.
Guests can now enjoy the thrilling exhibition by using their senses of sight and hearing to the fullest with the updated diorama.
