Help! Tokyo cinemas

My girlfriend goes to Japan tomorrow, and she wants to watch Hana Yori Dango Final movie, but she doesn't know where to watch it, she'll stay at Shibuya. I remember two cinemas there: one near a Parco, and another one closer to Club Sega, I think. Can somebody help me?, thanks!:redface:

 

According to Japan Times, only one cinema in Shibuya is showing it

SHIBUTOH CINE TOWER 1-4 (03) 5489-4210 : August Rush; Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull; The Magic Hour (Japanese); Hana Yori Dango Final (Japanese), till Fri.; for schedule, call theater.

Thank you very much!:clap:

Edit: They're also showing Ponyo, I hate my girlfriend XD

 

You poor buggers living in Tokyo with your piss poor cinemas :lol: At least down here our Cinemas kick ass. The odd thing is that in my city we have one tinny shit hole that shows only crappy japanese movies and anime (Toho Cinema) while in the next city they have 3 massive multiplex places! So unfair. Still, at least with 3 multiplex cinemas all within 10 minutes drive of each other we can get good prices and free popcorn and drinks (even if they are s size)

hihihi..we do not have those ubersuperhyper cool warner bros. cinema complexes up here in kanto.

 

Uh... Hello? Roppongi Hills? Fly seats, reserved seating, famous people that make appearances there, subtitles on Japanese movies from time to time, right in the middle of town, surrounded by night life. If you're white, rich, and looking for a wife, you can cruise to the worst bar in Japan after your movie: Heartland.

Shinjuku apparently got a new one last year. Seeing as I've seen a total of one movie in the theaters here in the last 18 months, I'm not so up to date on the cinema scene.

 

my post was meant in an ironically way ;-)

 

Haha, I laugh at your super cinemas, we have arabs selling DivX copies of new movies recorded with a camcorder on cinemas! Ha! Beat that!

 

They can buy games at 1 euro:shrug:

Yakumo, ¿free drinks and popcorn? here in Spain if you buy both you'll need like 10 euros (or even more), and these are the small ones.

 

8€ 2 big cokes + big popcorn in ABC dude. :110:

 

Concessions in Japan are actually somewhat reasonably priced. The portions compared to America are micro, but for 500 yen you can have at least something to snack on and a drink. I generally spend about 8 for popcorn and a coke when I go to the cinema in the US, but 3 people could split both the popcorn and coke.

 

I live in Barcelona, and Barcelona is expensive, more than Tokyo.

Gaijinpunch; any portion in the world is small compared with the USA ones XD. My girlfriend told me that the frapucinos from Starbucks were HUGE, when she went to NY, and they also have matcha flavour :love2:

 

I seriously doubt that.

And this was taken during an amazingly weak yen.

Cheap things in Japan:
Cigarettes... and that's about it.

 

and even that, may be not that long anymore.

 

Japan is kind of the last in line to that "let's get everyone to stop smoking" thing, mainly b/c the government owns so much of the industry. Whoops!

 

yeah..but right now there's kinda proposal in cclarification to heave the pack from 300 up to 1000yen. and at the moment itis more than 50% favored.

 

Well, you live there, so, I think that you know it better, but I was searchig for apartments to live for some time, and they weren't much expensive than the ones here. Drinks, some food and other things were really cheap compared with what I have to pay for them here, In the other hand, foreign food are really expensive; i'm vegetarian and I was amazed with the prices of some fruits and vegetables, but I also have to pay a lot here if I want matcha or natto XD

 

RE : Expensive cities, they never really do these things like for like, they normally go for the most middle class of things, I have been to many cities and lived as cheaply as I can get away with and I must say that some of these things are skewed. Hong Kong for example I found really cheap to live, you might need to learn more of the language and avoid tourist places but it's a bargain, I spent around US $3000 in 3 months including accomodation. London is expensive for everything. Chicago wasn't too bad. Tokyo, well as I like in the suburbs, I normally find it cheaper and cooking with local produce makes it even cheaper, internet is also cheap and fast!

But the things they choose to compare is a joke, just a small range of items and not taking local produce into account. Bread for example is not eaten a great deal in Tokyo, so I would expect it to be more expensive then say London.

 

It all depends what you compare it to. For Europeans Japan now is actually cheap. For example I would probably even pay a little more for an apartment in Vienna like the one I live in Hiroshima (size, location). Hiroshima is not Tokyo, of course.

Eating out is much cheaper though. And that's mainly because in Japan you don't have to order anything extra to drink as you always get water or tea "for free", plus you don't tip. That's not the case in any country in Europe I've been to, where it's weird if you don't order a drink also.

Fruits and vegetables, yeah, that can be expensive but you can find cheap shops and if you stick to seasonal stuff it's usually reasonable. Apples are almost always expensive though.

If that is to be extended to Japan in general, I doubt that observation is correct. With all the bakeries around. A huge supermarket near where I live is always sold on bread in the evening. Yeah, that's just one example but I'd say that most Japanese eat bread at least once a day.

 

Ah but don't confuse bakeries with bread, in most european countries a loaf of bread is just that, however go into most Japanese supermarkets and a loaf of bread normally contains about 8 slice of slightly thicker bread, so weight for weight it's very expensive. Again going on a pool of Japanese friends bread is eaten seldomly normally as a light breakfast meal of toast.

As for bakeries, most of the stuff in there is pasteries and cakes, yes they do sell bread, but compared to most european / american bakeries it makes up a tiny part of it. Most Japanese people I know, normally buy cakes or sweet breads, some are bakeries are nice as you get free coffee with your cakes.
