Ok so I lied a little in the title. Today, I will teach you how to watch movies for a cheaper price in Tokyo. Unfortunately, I don't know cheap movie theaters in Tokyo as they are all the same price.
1. First day of the month
On the 1st day of the month, you can watch movies for ¥1,000. This is approximately $10, which might not seem cheap to most people from abroad, but compared to what we usually have to pay for movies in Tokyo (¥1,800) it's pretty cheap.
2. Women's Day
Every Wednesday is called "Women's Day", which means all the females can watch movies for ¥1,000. I've heard there's a "Men's Day" as well, but unfortunately most of the theaters in Tokyo don't have one.
3. Toho Cinema's Day
14th of every months is called "Toho Cinema's Day" which lets everyone watch movies for ¥1,000. This discount only applies to Toho Cinemas.
4. Being a High Schooler
If you bring a student ID or something that proves you're a high schooler, you can watch movies for ¥1,000. However this might be hard because they might not allow International Student ID or a foreign student ID. If you obviously look like a high schooler they might not ask you for ID.
I definitely recommend watching at Toho Cinemas. They're definitely the best theaters because they're super clean and pretty big (although compared to foreign countries, Japanese theaters are tiny). Toho Cinemas also has the most English films. They have a ticket counter AND a ticket machine, which means you can buy tickets without going to the ticket booth which might be helpful because the person that sells tickets might not speak English, but the machine does☺
