Snuggle up and watch a movie — for free on a big screen outside.
What happens?
Shinjuku is once again holding its outdoor cinema festival.
Schedule 2025
This year, there will be three movies to cover the three days of the festival, all starting at 7 p.m. Talks start around 40 minutes before the screenings.
Suggested Activity
Become a Samurai in Tokyo
Who doesn't want to swing a sword and emulate the warriors of feudal Japan? Experience being a samurai for yourself in one of the coolest activities in Tokyo. During your intimate lesson, you’ll get to dress up in a samurai outfit and train with a traditional katana (single-edged samurai sword)!
There will also be food trucks to really hype up the mood. They will begin serving food at 5:30 p.m. on all days, with last orders accepted no later than 9:15 p.m.
Organizers may cancel events, alter schedules, or change admission requirements without notice. Always check official sites before heading to an event.Mid
