If this isn’t retro…we don’t know what is!

Possibly the most remote and retro movie theatre you might ever visit, Daishin Gekijou is nestled among the mountains of Yasuda Town, just beside the pristine Yasuda River, which is known for producing some of the most delicious sweetfish in the country

Once you walk into the theatre, it’s as if you’ve traveled back in time to the Showa era (1926–1989). Posters of Japanese classic films decorate the walls, old school lights hang from the sides, and even the mustard yellow seats bring up a sense of nostalgia

Every month one classic Japanese film plays during a set period, and sometimes local musicians perform to spread the Kochi love

If you're looking for an authentically retro Japanese experience, this is it!

For any outdoor enthusiasts, nearby Yasudagawa Camp Ground is definitely worth checking out: https://visitkochijapan.com/en/activities/10486
