In an effort to revitalize nighttime tourism, in 2024 the Tokyo Metropolitan Government began showcasing projection mapping art year-round at one of its iconic landmarks, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building No. 1. Using light and sound, this initiative transformed the building into a dynamic canvas for artistic expression. Since its inception, approximately 430,000 visitors have enjoyed the display, as of January 2025.

Following the success of the first installment featuring Toho’s iconic monster Godzilla, which premiered earlier in the year, the second chapter, Tokyo Godzillas, debuted on Saturday, November 30, 2024. On its opening night, the original Godzilla appeared in Citizen’s Plaza to mark the occasion with a countdown to the first screening. The event drew large crowds, including domestic and international tourists along with enthusiastic Godzilla fans.
