Godzilla head, Movie monster sculpture at Shinjuku Toho Building, Japan.
The Godzilla head sculpture, rising 12 meters and weighing 50 tons, stands on the eighth floor of the commercial complex in Kabukicho district.
The sculpture, installed in 2015, marks the redevelopment of a former theater site into the 30-story Shinjuku Toho Building entertainment complex.
This recreation of the monster from the 1954 film represents Japan's emergence from post-war tensions through cinematic expressions and storytelling.
Visitors can observe the sculpture from surrounding streets or access the Hotel Gracery Shinjuku, which occupies the upper floors of the building.
The fiberglass-reinforced cement structure features lighting effects at night, making the monster appear to survey the entertainment district below.
