Toho describes the story of Godzilla Island as follows:

 

Taking place in the year 2097, we find that Godzilla and a majority of monsters have stopped terrorizing the world and are living in peace on an island simply called “Godzilla Island.” Thanks to a special unit called G-Guard, the monsters are always under observation should they possibly get out of hand. The base Commander and his robot sidekick find their assignment pretty routine and mundane… until an alien invasion threatens not only Godzilla Island, but our planet as well!
