The most expensive in Japan!? A premium movie theater



[109 Cinemas Premium Shinjuku]


This movie theater, located on the 9th and 10th floors of Tokyu Kabukicho Tower and opening in April 2023, is said to be the most expensive in Japan. 🎬


▪️ 2.3 times the usual number of seats
▪️ Equipped with the "SAION -SR EDITION-" sound system supervised by Ryuichi Sakamoto
▪️ Lounge access available one hour before screening
▪️ Free popcorn and drink refills


It was a truly luxurious experience. ✨
The lounge is directly connected to the theater, and the lights dimmed briefly to let you know when it was time to enter. 😌


This time, I saw "National Treasure," a long movie that lasted three hours, and the high-quality seats were very comfortable. 😊
And it really felt like I was watching kabuki! ⁡

I'm so glad I was able to see this movie at this theater! ✨



They also offer a higher-class CLASS S, which includes a private lounge you can use after the movie. 😳


The seats are box-shaped, with outlets for charging and massages. 💆♀️


All seats are reclining, so I actually found the seats in the front to be a better view. 😌
