National Film Archive of Japan

国立映画アーカイブ

The National Film Archive of Japan is Tokyo’s national institution for film preservation, screenings, and exhibitions. Visitors can catch curated programs in Nagase Memorial Hall OZU and explore galleries covering Japanese film history and special poster shows, with a library available on designated hours. Because showtimes and room openings change daily, checking the calendar before arrival is essential. Plan around last-entry times for exhibitions and allow buffer if you want both a screening and a gallery walk. Come when you want serious cinema culture rather than a general art museum circuit.
