2014 marks the 25th anniversary of Shibuya, Tokyo's Bunkamura cultural complex.
Back in 2001, I attended the premiere screening of Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack in the Bunkamura's Orchard Hall. The screening was part of the 2001 Tokyo International Film Festival.
According to the official website:
Bunkamura was established in 1989 as the first large-scale cultural complex in Japan. Since its opening, Bunkamura’s creative space, comprising a concert hall (music), theatre (performance), museum (art), and cinema (film), as well as a café and art-related shops, has always drawn attention as a base for introducing new cultural pursuits. Bunkamura attracts 2.8 million visitors annually and is a popular spot in Shibuya where people can enjoy a range of cultural and artistic experiences in a relaxed atmosphere.To view the Bunkamura's website (in English), go here.
