Located in one of Tokyo's most vibrant student districts, the Shochiku, a leftover from a bygone age, is the classic "underground" theater. It seats 240 in somewhat spartan conditions, and the only refreshments available are soft drinks from vending machines. In its favor, however, the Shochiku shows a fairly good combination of art movies, foreign language classics and reruns, as well as some rare cinema classics. Phone ahead for listings of current and upcoming events.
