The Toho Big Pool (東宝大プール, Big Special Effects Filming Pool Tōhō Daipūru) (特殊撮影用 大プール, or simply Big Pool Tokushu Satsueiyō Daipūru) (大プール, was a giant water set on the Toho Studios lot designed by Daipūru)Yasuyuki Inoue[1] and Eiji Tsuburaya.[2] Completed in April 1960 for the war film Storm Over the Pacific,[1] it continued to be used in Toho's special effects films for over four decades. Most notably, it was used in nearly every entry in the Godzilla series up until its demolishing. Its final use was on September 7, 2004 for the filming of the ending of Godzilla: Final Wars,[3] being torn down the following year due to its age and Toho's plans of remodeling. The Big Pool consisted of an approximately 4,000 square meter[note 1] pool of water in front of a roughly 88 meter-long cyclorama.[2] Prior to its construction, a much smaller pool built in 1951 was used.[2]
