Why You Should Visit

This touring exhibition traces how director Takashi Yamazaki's team made Godzilla Minus One and its follow-up, Godzilla Minus Zero, and comes to the 7th-floor exhibition space at Daimaru Umeda. On show are scripts, storyboards, design drawings and VFX production materials, props from the films such as the Godzilla wood fragment and Godzilla tissue fragment, and international posters. The route follows the films from concept through shooting and visual effects to completion, and includes a Godzilla Minus Zero statue more than 2 metres tall. A good fit for anyone who has seen the films and wants to see how they were built.

FAQ

Can I get in without booking?

On weekdays (except the morning of 26 November) a free-entry ticket lets you in at any time, and these are also sold at the venue on the day. On weekends (28–29 Nov, 5–6 Dec) and the opening morning, entry is by timed ticket only, and slots that sell out in advance are not sold on the day.

Can I bring children?

Yes. Children of elementary school age and under must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over. Up to two preschoolers per adult enter free, but they cannot buy goods in the shop area. Wheelchairs and pushchairs are allowed.

Can I go just to buy merchandise?

No. A ticket is needed for the goods corner too, which comes at the end of the exhibition route. You can make one purchase transaction per entry.
