There is a particularly unique cinema in Fukaya City. The cinema was built in what used to be a 300-year-old sake brewery, which has since been reformed internally leaving the external building intact. The facility has been used to show films since 2014.

The most special feature of the cinema is that patrons of the cinema choose the films that will be screened using a voting system. If there is a particular film you would like to watch, I hope you will visit Fukaya and cast your vote!

 

Since I had the pleasure of taking a look inside the cinema, I would like to introduce the facility to everyone. First, is the cinema seating area. As an infection-prevention measure against New Coronavirus, patrons are required to sit one empty seat apart, although the cinema previously accommodated up to 60 viewers at a time.

 

In addition, there is a special children’s room as part of the seating area, so that even patrons with small children can safely sit together and enjoy watching the films.

 

Next, is the projection room. The projection room is home to a projector capable of displaying films and a digital projector, both of which are surprisingly enormous in person!

 

Furthermore, Fukaya Cinema also has an interactive space that patrons can visit while waiting for their film to begin.
