5 premium screens
Kyoto
There are 5 premium screens in Kyoto, across Dolby Cinema, IMAX, 4DX and ScreenX. The biggest picture is at TOHO Cinemas Nijo & IMAX — 196 m² of lit screen, 45% more than the next room.
No room here can show the full 1.43:1 IMAX frame. Every screen in Kyoto crops to 1.90 or wider, so a film shot with IMAX cameras will be missing about a quarter of its picture wherever you see it.

Scored on the picture each room actually lights, not the fabric it is painted on. A tilde means the projector rests on a single dated source.
