Do you know about the National Institute of Godzilla Disaster (NIGOD)? A virtual laboratory located within the Godzilla theme park on Awaji Island. The story is set in a Godzilla capture operation where Godzilla landed on Awaji Island and ceased its activities. The research center is in charge of monitoring Godzilla.
Visitors to the theme park will become members of NIGOD and will experience various missions in order to monitor Godzilla. This immersive theme park is rapidly gaining popularity among visitors. The captured life-size Godzilla with a total length of 120 meters has an overwhelming presence. A must-see for Godzilla fans and an unforgettable experience.
This is my experience as a member of the National Institute of Godzilla Disaster (NIGOD).

Mission to Monitor Godzilla in NIGOD
Following the immersive movie experience in the theater room, it is time to embark on a thrilling mission. Visitors are presented with a choice between two exciting courses: the “Inside Body Surveillance Course” or the “Outside Body Surveillance Course.” Whichever course they select, visitors will engage in a heart-pumping adventure as they zipline through the attraction, delving into Godzilla.
In the photo above, check out how Godzilla’s massive size dwarfs the little human.
Prepare yourself for an eerily chilling experience as you step into the sensation of being engulfed by a Kaiju (monster). Only by personally experiencing the attraction will you uncover the spine-tingling reality of what it feels like to be inside Godzilla’s formidable form
Even when viewed from the side, Godzilla’s body is a massive, powerful sight. While measuring a staggering 120 meters in length, a significant portion of his massive form remains submerged beneath the ground, with only his imposing face and body visible above the surface. The exposed section alone spans an impressive 55 meters in length and 25 meters in width, and towers to a height of 23 meters.
Mission to Destroy Godzilla Cells in NIGOD
After completing the mission to infiltrate Godzilla’s body, the next step is to remove Godzilla cells scattered around the area with a special gun. Players can enjoy the exhilaration of destroying Godzilla cells in a shooting game-like experience.
Mission to view the Godzilla exhibition in NIGOD
Visitors who have completed the attraction can enter the exclusive “Godzilla Museum” filled with valuable exhibits and captivating dioramas, offering a highly satisfying visual experience.
You can also get limited Godzilla items and cute souvenirs.
Not only Godzilla fans but even newcomers are sure to enjoy the powerful scene sets and monster figures from past films. The voice guidance (available in English and Chinese) is highly recommended to get the most from your experience.
