Going to the movies is an indispensable activity for those who love watching movies. In Japan, many international students also love watching movies.

However, movie tickets in Japan are quite expensive. Except for the selling price of JPY 1,100 on special days, such as Lady’s Day (Wednesday) and Day 1 (the first day of the month), another way to buy cheap movie tickets is to buy a preview ticket.
