A fire-breathing Godzilla rises from the sea in Akita Prefecture

As the sun sets in Oga City, Akita Prefecture, a ferocious, fire-breathing Godzilla rises from the sea. 

The Godzilla Rock, which sits off the south-western part of Shiosezaki Peninsula in the Sea of Japan, is a small, inconspicuous rock formation during daylight but when viewed from the right angle at the right time of day transforms into the king of the kaijū. 


The event has been likened to Diamond Fuji, the moment when at which the sun rises or sets right atop the mountain, creating a diamond-like sunflare. For the Godzilla Rock, this diamond effect is a super-charged laser.


Should you find yourself compelled to visit, Oga City has put up a helpful sign showing the best angle to view the rock from.
