Tokyo I Osaka I Kobe I Kyoto I Nagoya

Cinemas in Japan. There has been an explosion of new cinema and cineplex building over the last few years in Japan.
Screening times tend to be earlier than in the US & Europe.

For current movies in the Tokyo metropolitan area RealTokyo is a useful resource for reviews and times.

For Kansai (western Japan) - Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto and Nara try the Kansai Scene magazine, which has current listings and maps to the cinemas on its website. For the Nagoya area Japanzine has up-to-date information on current releases and maps showing movie theaters.
