Godzilla was made here! Toho Studios Tokyo, Japan

On the edge of Tokyo lies Toho Studios. This is the place where classic Japanese movies like Godzilla and movies are still being produced. Lets go see one of the biggest active studios in Japan!

[@Henning142]

The giant Godzilla art is not the 1954 design. It is the Heisei design from 1994. Same goes to the statue there at Toho Studios. Furthermore sure Godzilla was in 1954 a financial risk, but Seven Samurai never bankrupted Toho! Both movies were expensive for Toho in 1954, but they never would have caused true trouble for them. Otherwise a nice video!

Henning Strauss hey thanks for this info sorry I got some stuff wrong!

[@Henning142]

@@Yukendoit you are welcome!

[@richardkempton1894]

I was appalled when he said that was the 1954 design. lol

[@MacobstonProductions]

Thank you so much for sharing this, I am a fan of Godzilla. This video made my week ! 2:03 Perfectly summed up Scott ! And those cherry blossoms were gorgeous.

[@Yukendoit]

I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@MoviemaniaNick]

Cool Studio! Fun facts!

[@og-goji6613]

I love the godzilla art on the side of the building.

[@Yukendoit]

It's pretty awesome right?

[@og-goji6613]

@@Yukendoit Yeah I applaud the person/people that painted that.

*_Actually 3 things I think about when I say Japan, are JDM, Godzilla, and Anime_*

[@caribman10]

Toho doesn't have formal tours, but courtesy of the late Akira Takarada a group of us did get inside. Smaller than you'd think, but wow, what stuff. The painting of Mothra on a wall was mind-bending. The stream shown is the one from 7 Samurai, by the way.

[@Yukendoit]

Pretty amazing! I wish I could do that too!

[@chrismiralles1054]

Wow interesting information about Godzilla I remember his nostalgic classic appearance I was living in Jakarta Indonesia during 1981-1989 he became a icon character for me during that time they were many toys merchandise on Godzilla also movies I badly want a remote control Godzilla when I was a kid but my parents can't buy it for me for its was expensive it's impressive how Godzilla gain international fame and is well loved by many

[@Yukendoit]

I think I know that remote controlled Godzilla toy you are talking about.

[@darylturcott]

Ohh my the art work on the side is amazing just amazing it was the favorite of my brothers at 10 -13 they would get scared and love it How cool.........thanks WE LOVE YOU....ALLWAYS WATCHIN..MRSDARYL TURCOTT MRS ....

I Love Gojira! I Love Sakura! I Love Japan!

[@rickylovesyou]

3 things: Ninjas, Rooftops and Geishas. Ahh who am I kidding its Geishas, Geishas, Geishas. 👌

[@ghostxflowers]

Ah lucky hope to visit toho one day.

[@Yukendoit]

Its a fun trip realistically there is not much there but its still worth seeing!

[@ghostxflowers]

@@Yukendoit still so amazing.

[@zeropelli7026]

I think of anime, samurai and Godzilla

[@garyreid6165]

The three things that I think of when I think of Japan other than the three you mentioned are; 1.Geishas. .2.Shinkansen. .3. Tokyo Tower. If I could add a fourth, fifth or sixth; 4. Anime/ manga 5.Kabuki/ Noh theater 6. The Diet Building

[@Yukendoit]

I once went to a kabuki theater and asked "do they preform kabuki here." I was told by the greeter, "Noh".

[@garyreid6165]

@@Yukendoit LOL

[@garyreid6165]

A seventh thing; taiko drumming performances.

[@GregsGameRoom]

Did you say “bankrupted?” Heh, I think you meant “bankrolled.” ;-)

[@Yukendoit]

I know for sure Godzilla was a huge risk. The guy who played though monster was worried no one would like it.

[@pappy4075]

Btw what is name of biggest movie star in Japan?

[@ZombieChris]

All hail the king of monsters..... Godzilla!

[@Yukendoit]

I am mothra fan myself but that’s just me.

[@schoonfam08]

When I think of Japan, I think of Anime, Manga, Pokémon, Kingdom Hearts and Tokyo Disney Resort.

[@schoonfam08]

Also Godzilla.

[@MaxZomboni]

Great video. It's surprising they don't have tours. It's not like Toho is making a lot of money from movies these days. They could probably make more money charging for tours of their studios.

[@Yukendoit]

I think they are more interested in making movies rather then having to interrupt the productions.

[@amandakondolojy7546]

ONLY three things that make me think of Japan? OK how about theme parks, anime, and cherry blossoms?

[@pappy4075]

Proper for that studio to be hidden

[@lamborghini9393]

I think about Gojira, katanas, and sushi.

[@Yukendoit]

Lambor Ghini mmm sushi

Wish they did 1 last suit mation

[@denniscaventa1483]

Its the hesei Godzilla not the showa and it is pronounced gorilla not garilla

[@gabmoreno280]

Bankrupt is the opposite of good it meant they lost money

[@Yukendoit]

Correctomundo. However seven samurai is a masterpiece and the studio still, as you can see, is open.

[@gabmoreno280]

@@Yukendoit yeah although I haven’t seen 7 samurai I do know that it was a very important landmark in cinema in which it’s cousin The Magnificent Seven was pretty much a inspired film of 7 samurai
