Movie Theater Guide and Discount Days in the Shinjuku Shibuya Area

Sure, you could stay home and stream movies on your computer, but there’s still nothing quite like cozying up in the seat of a dark theater with warm popcorn, a large sprawling screen and surround sound whisking you away into the world of your favorite film. However, as every film lover surely knows, going to an actual movie theater has become increasingly more expensive. To help you stay mindful of your budget as you enjoy screenings at your favorite spots, we’ve compiled a guide for the Shinjuku Shibuya area of all the most popular theaters and their discount days.

Though general admission in Tokyo goes for 1,800円, (and sometimes more for specialty screenings), with some careful planning, you can see your favorite films each week for about 1,000円.
