Travellers leaving Tokyo to take international flights will be watched over by the world’s largest indoor Godzilla installation from late December, likely becoming the latest attraction at the busy Haneda airport.
The Godzilla monument, which portrays the reptilian monster as if bursting from a building, measures about 40m long and 9m high.
It will be situated in the departures lobby at Haneda’s Terminal 3.
The famous Japanese monster has featured in more than 30 films in and outside the country since the first Godzilla film was released in 1954, according to its official website.
