Godzilla Expo in Fukuoka
ゴジラ博 in 福岡- Tenjin-Minami Station
- Walk 1 minutes
The "Godzilla Expo in Fukuoka" runs from 4 June – 22 June on the eighth floor of the main building of Daimaru Fukuoka Tenjin, in the events hall.
Following showings across Japan since 2024, the Fukuoka edition brings together suits and statues of Godzilla through the decades, along with a large-scale diorama from Godzilla Minus One. Visitors can use their own smartphones to enjoy a special-effects experience built around the diorama, creating an immersive sense of stepping inside the film itself.
What sets this edition apart is a partial change to the line-up, with new exhibits relating to Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla (1994), a film whose climactic battle was set in Fukuoka. SpaceGodzilla and M.O.G.U.E.R.A. feature among the related displays, bringing a fight with strong local ties back to life before visitors' eyes. The exhibition leans into the idea of experiencing Godzilla rather than simply looking at him, with opportunities to take photographs and try the special-effects features throughout.
Highlights of the exhibition
The displays are presented on a scale designed to convey the monsters' overwhelming presence. Among the highlights are a gathering of standing figures of Godzilla through the years, the dramatic large-scale diorama from Godzilla Minus One, a display allowing a close look at the silver armour of Mechagodzilla, and a selection of historical theatrical posters, including the poster for the very first Godzilla film of 1954.
Merchandise
A wide range of commemorative goods marks the occasion, offering a way to experience 70 years of Godzilla history through a variety of items, from T-shirts and theatrical-poster-style acrylic stands to, for collectors, framed "Chara-Fine Graph" art pieces of Godzilla Minus One and Shin Godzilla. As a purchase incentive running for the full period from 4 June to 22 June, shoppers who spend 3,000 yen or more including tax in a single transaction at the Godzilla Expo goods area receive a Fukuoka-venue visual sticker, available on a first-come basis while stocks last.
Tickets are available on the Asoview, Lawson Ticket (code 83297), Ticket Pia (code 996-051), e+, and Seven Ticket (code 115-482) platforms.
