Tokyo’s Biggest Airport Is Getting Its Own Big-Ass Godzilla

The Haneda Airport in Japan is getting a kaiju-sized new feature in the form of a big-ass Godzilla installation. The King of the Monsters is packing his bags to move into position at Haneda Airport Terminal 3 as part of a partnership between Toho Co., Japan Airport Terminal Co., Ltd., and the Tokyo International Air Terminal Corporation.

In 2024, the legendary icon celebrated his 70th anniversary—and the festivities continue with the “Haneda Godzilla Global Project.” The installation will include a few different immersive elements, including artwork decorating the arrival lobby and a statue of Godzilla from the recent Oscar-winning film Godzilla Minus One, also in the arrivals area.

The chonky dino’s biggest impact, though, will be positioned for the benefit of departing travelers. It’s going to be colossal: the statue will measure approximately 131 feet wide and 20 feet high, according to a press release.

Currently, there are only renderings to tease the massive scale of this Godzilla, which will be on display from December 2025 through December 2026. We love a tourist attraction based on the sheer prominence of Godzilla’s glory. Like yes, Godzilla also has to deal with TSA and baggage claim.

We can’t wait to see it all in person before heading off to zipline into Godzilla’s mouth at the Nijigen no Mori Park on Awaji Island—or checking out the new attraction, Godzilla the Ride: Great Clash (directed by Minus One filmmaker Takashi Yamazaki), at Seibuen Amusement Park in Tokorozawa.
