A cinema visit in Japan

I'm not big on the cinema, full stop. In my home country I went occasionally with family and also every now and then with friends as a child and teenager. But it was never my preferred activity. As an adult, before I had children, I went even less. It is only since I've had children that I visit more regularly. 

However, the cinema in Japan has grown on me in recent years. I quite like the way they have paraphernalia and photo spots from current movies in the theater. For all I know they have them in my home country now too, but when I was young I don't think they did. I don't remember seeing any. I also like how affordable the cinema is in Japan. It only cost 2000 yen for me and 1000 yen for my daughter. I think its at least double that price back home in Ireland. If you buy food / drink they give it to you on a tray that cleverly sits into the cup holders that are available on every chair in the theater. 

My most recent visit was just this past weekend. I brought my youngest daughter to see Zootopia 2. I really enjoyed it, for the record, and she loved it too. And I loved these plush Zootopia 2 characters, pictured below, that were on display in the theater. The large scale Wicked photo spot, pictured two below, was really cool too. 

Do you go to the cinema often in Japan?
