Motomiya Eiga Gekijo, Historical movie theater in Motomiya, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan.
Motomiya Eiga Gekijo is a three-story wooden theater building that seated approximately 1,000 spectators and operated as a cinema. The interior features traditional Japanese architectural elements and retains its original projection equipment from the early 20th century.
The building opened in 1914 as Motomiya-za playhouse and was converted to a cinema in 1943. It operated until closing in 1963.
The theater served the community as a gathering place for films, stage performances, wrestling matches, and traditional storytelling acts. It shaped local entertainment culture for generations.
