Godzilla looks scary in the daylight, too!

Not completely sure, but without the darkness and colored lights Godzilla is still quite impressive! Anyway, now that September is here, I am sure that he is being dismantled this morning. I wonder what I will find when I return?

The King of the Monsters looks more menacing with clouds, smoke and light effects!

The clouds, smoke and light effects in this photo make Godzilla look more menacing! Luckily for us, a small fence protects us. Anyway, the King of the Monsters gets packed up and heads to parts unknown (perhaps Monster Island?) after tonight.

Godzilla in Midtown!

Sorry I have been negligent in updating my blog. The family and I were away in the states visiting family. I returned several weeks ago, but have been busy recovering from a respiratory infection and jet-lag.

Upon my return I found that the Tokyo Midtown Garden had been taken over by Godzilla! It seems that Godzilla and his tail will be in the garden until the end of August. It seems that in the evening he will be putting on a light and sound show every half hour from 7 to 9 p.m.

What would you like to drink?

It seems that there too many beverage choices in Japan.

Here's something a little more mundane to start with... A strawberry flavored drink, sparkling ichigo.

If you are feeling a little like ultra, there is an Ultraman cola waiting for you.

If you are feeling a little like Godzilla today, perhaps you should drink something with a little Fire.

At many machines, you can pay with your Edy, PASMO or SUICA card.  Some you can even pay with you keitai (cellular phone). Just wave your phone or card in front of the pad.

 

How about a pharmaceutical beverage?

How about a picnic?

If you don't have much change, you may want to find one of these machines.  Perhaps you've spent all your change on parking?  This one is in front of a ¥600 an hour parking lot.
