Shintomiza
Shintomiza (進富座) is an art-house independent theater in Ise. It is not only the sole independent movie theater in the area, but also in the prefecture and even draws a decent crowd (of movie buffs) from places like Nagoya and Osaka. It is located in a small building that is a short walk from Miyamachi Station.
Movies from all over the world in a variety of languages are shown at the theater. The schedule is only available in Japanese however next to each movie is what language it's in.
The theater's name is a kanji play-on-words based on the famous Tokyo Kabuki theater 新富座, also pronounced as Shintomiza.
