Kokura Showakan, Movie theater in Kokurakita-ku, Japan.

The Kokura Showakan cinema functions with one screen and provides seating for 134 viewers in its modernized projection facility.

Established in 1939, the theater endured a complete destruction by fire in 2022 before reopening in December 2023 after extensive reconstruction.

The cinema serves as a gathering point for film enthusiasts, screening both contemporary releases and classic films like 'New Cinema Paradise'.

The reconstruction project required 100 million yen for interior work, with 40 million yen collected through nationwide crowdfunding initiatives.

Local residents and cinema fans brought decades-old photographs to the reopening ceremony, demonstrating the theater's deep connection to community memory.
