Gojira!!

"Oh No! There goes Tokyo! Go, Go Godzilla!" (A great old song by Blue Oyster Cult)

Sure enough, right where Eric Trinidad said it was, I found the Godzilla statue. It was also, as he indicated, disappointingly small. If you took it down from the pedestal, it was perhaps 4 feet tall. So, not very menacing at all, really.

Here's the wide view...see what I mean?

"Godzilla"
(by Blue Oyster Cult):

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down

Helpless people on a subway train
Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town

Oh no, they say he's got to go
Go go Godzilla, yeah
Oh no, there goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla, yeah

Rinji news o moshiagemasu!
Rinji news o moshiagemasu!
Godzilla ga Ginza hoomen e mukatte imasu!
Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai!
Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai!

Oh no, they say he's got to go
Go go Godzilla, yeah
Oh no, there goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla, yeah

History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of men
Godzilla!
