About
Opened in April 2015 in the Shinjuku Toho Building, on the site of the old Koma Theatre, Hotel Gracery Shinjuku is famous for its neighbour on the terrace. The life-size Godzilla head (listed separately in this app) looms above Kabukicho at about the height the 50 m monster would stand. Toho, Godzilla's studio, owns the building. Hotel guests get the closest encounter: a handful of Godzilla View rooms look straight out at the head and its giant claw, and the Godzilla Room is fully themed, with a Godzilla figure and claw in the room, special art and souvenirs. Normal rooms are compact and well priced for central Shinjuku, and the lobby on the 8th floor has Godzilla figures and displays. Kabukicho's nightlife, the Golden Gai bars and Toho Cinemas are all within a few steps, so it is a good base for a night-owl trip to Shinjuku.
Highlights
- Life-size Godzilla head on the 8th-floor terrace, right outside the hotel
- Godzilla View rooms, where the monster fills the window
- Fully themed Godzilla Room with props and a giant claw
- Godzilla displays in the 8F lobby
- Steps from Kabukicho, Golden Gai and Toho Cinemas
Tips
- Godzilla View and Godzilla Room categories are few and sell out months ahead
- Terrace access is generally for guests; non-guests get the best view of the head from Kabukicho's Central Road (Ichiban-gai)
- Rooms are small; book a larger category if travelling with big luggage
- Godzilla roars and lights up at set times during the day and evening
