TOHO Cinemas Nijo - Kyoto

Clean cinema. Nice seats and good snacks. Expensive tickets for my experience. I paid 3 times the price i pay at my local cinema. For the same quality.

Great theater. I love the store outside, too. Nice options for food. My daughter dropped her shoe and we didn't realize it, but a staff member ran after us to give it back to us. Super nice!

At this theater, you select your seats, which I love! I was able to buy them online but make sure you have the Google Translate app installed because it will automatically translate the site into English. Ran into a problem when it wouldn't accept my phone number (required to complete purchase). My Japanese cousin texted us his and then it was no problem. You probably could use any Japanese number. Once you complete the online purchase, it gives you a 4 digit confirmation code plus the phone number you gave. Once you arrive, go to a ticket kiosk and enter in this info. The machine prints out the tickets and everything proceeds how it would in USA. Cost was 1900 per adult, 1500 for our college student, 1000 for our high school student, and 1000 for our jr high student. No proof needed but she did look at tickets and us to see if kids looked to fit those ages. Since we saw it in IMAX, there was a 500 IMAX appreciation fee additional to the prices listed above. Prices for popcorn and soda were surprisingly affordable compared to USA prices. We got a popcorn (about medium USA size) and 3 medium Cokes for only 1400. I think that would have easily been over $20 in US. We went on a Monday around 3pm and the theater was nearly empty. Everything was very clean as usual in Japan. During movie, there is NO talking, texting or loud eating. Everyone is very quiet. At the end, it is traditional to wait until credits are over and lights go on before getting up to exit. Plus you take your trash into the hallway area where someone there is waiting to take it from you. Employees very friendly and many spoke some English. I think the only thing that would make this experience even more perfect, if the seats were the reclining type that are now spreading throughout California's theaters.

Convenient cinema but surrounding shopping mall is not big

Can't speak Japanese at all but wanted to watch a movie after a long day. Chose an English showing without too much difficulty and was pleasantly surprised by the ladies day discount. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The snacks were cheap compared to Canada and were quite tasty -- the split flavour popcorn is genius! Seats in the theatre were comfy and the quality of the film was great.

Great imax cinema. Nice sound and very clean.

First time in toho and in IMAX. Love the place its pleasant tho the prices were quite expensive but all worth it. Thank you

It's a cinema, with movies! A rarity in Corona times! Go after 8:30pm it's cheaper.. but only if the movie starts after 8:30pm, important to bear in mind!
