Toho Entertainment Store in Hibiya!

While out and about in Hibiya on March 13, I discovered the Toho Entertainment Store quite by accident in Hibiya Chanter. As the name might suggest, this store is not another Godzilla store but sells goods related to various Toho properties -- Godzilla included. 

There were some cool items for sale, such as Blu-rays of Godzilla movies and other things, but I successfully kept my money in my wallet. I really ought to start spending less money, but that's easier said than done.

Godzilla is so well represented in Hibiya that a 7-Eleven in the basement of Tokyo Midtown Hibiya has its own Godzilla section. So, yes, you may be able to buy a Slurpee at yours, but can you buy a Godzilla keychain there, too? Yeah, that's what I thought!

While stopping by Toho Cinemas Hibiya after work today, I decided to check out the Hibiya Meets Godzilla display one more time, especially to see how it would look at night. It certainly didn't disappoint -- it was quite impressive! Here's what I saw.

Hibiya Meets Godzilla ... Again!

Today, I returned to Tokyo Midtown Hibiya to take another look at the Hibiya Meets Godzilla exhibit just outside the venue. When I was entering the building via the subway, I happened upon the above posters promoting the event -- didn't notice them last time! With all that said, let's check out the highlights.

Earlier today, I made my way to Hibiya to check out the Godzilla '54 bust standing guard in front of Tokyo Midtown Hibiya. What a cool way to celebrate his 70th anniversary! The Big G will be hanging out there from February 1 until March 10, so you can bet your bottom dollar I'll come back again before it's gone. Let's check out the highlights.

When checking out the English-subtitled version of Godzilla Minus One (2023) last night at Toho Cinemas Hibiya, I was a bit surprised to see the promotional ballyhoo was still out in full force. (Even the kaiju suit-size display seen above was brought back, which wasn't there when the movie opened.) Here's what I saw. Enjoy!
