The big draw of this huge (970 rooms!) hotel is the enormous Godzilla statue atop it (you, and taxi drivers, will have no trouble finding it). It's fairly new and still feels fresh, and the size means you can usually score good rates (but also that the lobby is routinely crowded). Note that it's in Kabukichō, the red-light district.
