A video of the popular movie monster Godzilla has been projected on the wall of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building.

Projection mapping technology was used to display a 100-meter tall Godzilla on the wall on Saturday night.
Many people gathered to watch the six-minute video ahead of the start of the spring holiday period.

Since February, the metropolitan government has been projecting various displays using one of its office buildings as a screen to promote tourism.

The video features a Godzilla attack on the metropolitan government and counterattacks by an interceptor that the government secretly developed to fight the monster.

The image will be projected three times a night starting at 7 p.m. at a one-hour interval through May 6, and from 7:30 p.m. after May 11.

The government's project was awarded the Guinness World Record for the largest permanent projection mapping system. The government has earmarked nearly six million dollars to operate the system this fiscal year.

An official says the government hopes both tourists from Japan and abroad will enjoy the globally popular movie character.
