Take on Godzilla yourself in virtual reality at new attractions in Osaka and Tokyo

New VR Zone attraction lets you take on Godzilla in an attack chopper…

It’s been 64 years since the first Godzilla film and since then 29 Japanese films based on him have been released, with the latest, Shin Godzilla being the most commercially and critically successful ever. With more movies and animated series in the works, the franchise is clearly as strong as ever.

The creators of the original film, most of whom have passed on, probably never could have imagined it would have become this big. And they certainly would have been amazed at this new attraction scheduled for VR Zone in Osaka and Tokyo: Godzilla VR!
