Faqs

What is the significance of the “Free Seats” listed for most screenings?

Free Seats refer to unreserved seating where you are free to sit in any available chair within the venue. Because these are not assigned, we recommend arriving at the hall at least 30 minutes early to secure a good viewing position.

Is there a difference between the morning and afternoon sessions at the Asahi Community Cultural Center?

The content of the film remains identical for both the 10:30 AM and 2:00 PM screenings. The two sessions are offered to accommodate different schedules for local residents and visitors traveling from other parts of Kanagawa.

How do I obtain a ticket for the “Reserved Seats” at Higashiosaka or Kyoto?

Reserved seats require a specific seat assignment at the time of purchase, which can be difficult to navigate on Japanese-only websites. Jasumo assists by handling the seat selection and payment process to ensure your spot is secured before you arrive.

Are these screenings suitable for non-Japanese speakers?

The film is a Japanese production and screenings in local cultural halls typically do not include English subtitles. However, the visual storytelling and emotional performances are highly evocative, making the core themes accessible even to those with limited language skills.

What should I do if a screening is sold out on the day I want to go?

If the official ticket platform shows a session is sold out, Jasumo can check verified resale marketplaces for available tickets. We recommend submitting your request early, especially for venues like the Kyoto Prefectural Hall which have limited capacity.
