It's certainly an odd, if fitting choice. Godzilla is known throughout the world and it's no secret people like Japan.

At any rate congrats to the people who decided for a popular kaiju as the face of Japanese tourism.

From the annihilator of Japan to it's tourist ambassador. That's some movie of the week story if there ever was one.

Does this mean some poor soul will now dress up in a Godzilla suit and greet people in airports ala Mickey Mouse and Co. in Disney theme parks?
