This was a huge park but there wasn&#8217;t much there. It was more just land and forests with the occasional small set of attractions based on anime fandoms (Demon Hunter, Monster Hunter, etc.), with probably the largest attraction being Godzilla Intercept Operation Awaji. Here you can watch a short film (made specifically for this attraction), zipline into Godzilla&#8217;s mouth (or next to him), try out the shooting gallery, or visit the Godzilla museum (with a body suit, various models and minatures, and sketches of the characters from the movies) along with the gift shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/paulspicts\/files\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250518_060959744-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/paulspicts\/files\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250518_060959744-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/paulspicts\/files\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250518_060959744-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/paulspicts\/files\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250518_060959744-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/paulspicts\/files\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250518_060959744-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/paulspicts\/files\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250518_060959744-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/paulspicts\/files\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250518_062231976-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/paulspicts\/files\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250518_062231976-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/paulspicts\/files\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250518_062231976-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/paulspicts\/files\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250518_062231976-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/paulspicts\/files\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250518_062231976-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/paulspicts\/files\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250518_062231976-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/paulspicts\/files\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250518_072557945-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/paulspicts\/files\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250518_072557945-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/paulspicts\/files\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250518_072557945-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/paulspicts\/files\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250518_072557945-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/paulspicts\/files\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250518_072557945-864x1536.jpg 864w, https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/paulspicts\/files\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250518_072557945-1152x2048.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/paulspicts\/files\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250518_072557945-scaled.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Our hotel had a great view &#8230; of a different park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/paulspicts\/files\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250518_103113162-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/paulspicts\/files\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250518_103113162-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/paulspicts\/files\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250518_103113162-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/paulspicts\/files\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250518_103113162-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/paulspicts\/files\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250518_103113162-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/paulspicts\/files\/2025\/05\/PXL_20250518_103113162-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ted and I split from the girls in Kyoto and headed back to the west coast to visit the Godzilla Intercept Operation Awaji.
