本町館, Historical movie theater in Higashiyama district, Kyoto, Japan
The Honmachi-kan Theater occupies a three-story concrete building with a seating capacity of 85 people and digital cinema projection capabilities.
Established on August 31, 1920, as a permanent movie theater, Honmachi-kan underwent reconstruction after World War II and modifications throughout its century-long existence.
The venue transformed from screening Nikkatsu films to becoming a specialized adult cinema in 1971, adding variety shows featuring Shochiku Entertainment performers.
Located at 75-8 Honmachi-dori Shiokoji-sagaru, the theater stands near Shichijo Station on the Keihan Main Line in eastern Kyoto.
The theater maintains continuous operations since 1920, surviving multiple transformations while preserving its original function as a cinema venue in Kyoto.
