Kamata: Where Godzilla First Comes Ashore In “Godzilla Resurgence”

‘In his initial plot for the movie “Godzilla Resurgence” (2016), director Anno was loosely planning to have Godzilla swim the Keihin Canal upstream from Ota Ward to Shinagawa Ward. Later, after director Higuchi and his staff went hunting for locations by bicycle on the route back from Haneda, we decided to have Godzilla first come ashore from Nomi River in Kamata, Ota Ward, because director Higuchi liked the diverse ambiences the town around Kamata could offer.
For the filming of the impactful opening scene, we made large-scale use of Kamata to achieve a tremendously powerful scene.’
