Cinema Paradise

By on May 11, 2015

New life is being breathed into the cinema in Tokyo with the opening of two new cinemas: in Ebisu, the reopening after a 4-year hiatus of the bijoux Yebisu garden cinema, offering a refined selection of foreign and independent productions in the shadow of the Joel Robuchon Chateau, whilst on the other side of the tracks, in the less than salubrious location of Kabukicho on the site of a former theatre, is Toho Cinema Shinjuku’s latest mega movie complex.

Ebisu Garden Cinema

o0400030013258507237Over two thousand seats and more screens than you probably need, complete with its very own movie icon, Godzilla, ripping through the building. Head for the roof terrace for the perfect selfie as Godzilla breaks out of the roof into the Shinjuku skyline. Over in Toyosu, the screen comes to life in more ways than one as full length specially-adapted movies enter a fourth dimension at the all-new 4DX. Be prepared to be tickled, blown, shaken and soaked (just a little) for the duration of your fave movie. Be warned, the additional cost adds a new dimension of its own!
