Godzilla Ballyhoo in and around Hibiya!

Yours truly on the red carpet in Tokyo Midtown Hibiya.  

Earlier today (Wednesday, November 1), I had a great time checking out some of the Godzilla Minus One (2023) ballyhoo around Hibiya, some of which was actually new for me. There was also this red carpet setup near the entrance of Tokyo Midtown Hibiya for the Tokyo International Film Festival, of which Minus One is a part, so maybe it counts, too. The Biollante diorama (seen below) in Hibiya Chanter was new for me, as was the Minus One (and Ichizo Kobayashi gallery) posters on the side of the Yurakucho Mullion building. Here's what I saw. Enjoy!

Out and About in Hibiya and Ginza

Last night, I was out and about in Hibiya and Ginza, and while I was there, I took some shots of sights that ought to be familiar to readers of this blog. It's all pretty self-explanatory by this point, so I'll let the photos do the talking. Enjoy!

While walking around Ginza today, I took some photos of a couple of familiar locations. One was the Yurakucho Mullion Building (as seen in Godzilla 1985), and the other was the Hattori Clock Tower atop the Wako department store (as seen in Godzilla '54). Enjoy!

While walking around Ginza, I couldn't resist the urge to photograph some familiar locations. It was a beautiful day, which made any resistance nearly impossible. It truly was perfect weather for photography. Anyhow, here are some shots of the Hattori Clock Tower (as seen in the original Godzilla) and the Yurakucho Mullion Building (as seen in Godzilla 1985). Enjoy!

Today I had some time to walk around Ginza. Since I had my trusty camera on hand, I took some photos. 

It's been photographed countless times (even on this blog!), but I snapped some new photos of the Hattori Clock Tower, which Godzilla destroyed in 1954.

Nearby stands the Yurakucho Mullion Building, which Godzilla destroyed 30 years later in 1984. It also bears a famous logo. 

More photos to come!
