Godzilla hotel in Tokyo finally opens its doors

Room with a kaiju


What's that outside my window? Is it a bird, is it a plane? No, it's a 12-ft high recreation of Godzilla's great scaly bonce.



It is no secret the people of Japan love the Big G, erecting monuments to the King of the Monsters up and down the country, like this one which invaded a park in Tokyo last year.  Not wanting to be outdone, the Hotel Gracery Shinjuku in Tokyo has just thrown open the doors to its Godzilla hotel. Containing six kaiju-themed rooms, it has immediately shot to the top of every Godzilla-fanatic's list of places to visit.



All six rooms come with a view of the lovingly rendered replica, because, clearly, there aren't many people out there who haven't dreamt of drifting off to sleep with Godzilla eye-balling them malevolently through a flimsy pane of glass. If that wasn't enough, £200 a night (£300 on weekends) will get you the full-fat kaiju experience, securing you entry to a room chocked full of Godzilla goodies. There is even a sculpture of  the Big G's foot crashing through the wall. Classy.



The fun doesn't stop there, however, as visitors will also be able to do their necessaries in a cutting-edge Godzilla-themed toilet. Nope, we're not quite sure what this means either, and we're almost too afraid to ask.

What we really want to know is if guest's pillows contain special atomic breath-mints...
