New silent theater in Tokyo lets you relax on sofas with headphones while watching movies

Have you ever wished you were one of those rich people who have a movie theater in their own home? Watching a movie on the big screen from the comfort of your sofa? Well, now there is a theater in Japan for you.

Tokyo’s trendy Daikanyama district has a new theater just opened called Theater Guild Daikanyama and it’s outfitted like someone’s living room. This is the world’s very first ‘Silent Theater’, where guests will be allowed to choose whatever sofa or chair they want, put on a pair of headphones, and watch movies in comfort without worrying about complaints. noise.

The bedroom is stylish but casually furnished, designed to be comfortable like your home. There is art on the walls, a terrarium area full of plants, a bar counter and a long table with ten chairs. In front of the main screen, which is a 3 meter high and 5 meter long 4K LED display, are several different sofas and armchairs from all over the world, so you can choose your favorite spot and sit down to have a good time.

And like in a real Japanese house, wearing shoes inside the theater is not allowed, so you can really take off your shoes and relax as if you were at home.

The real appeal of this theater, however, is that the sound comes exclusively from the headphones, completely eliminating the problem of noise pollution. As a result, this theater does not need thick walls or soundproof doors. You could even watch a movie with the windows open, without worrying about disturbing the neighborhood.

Plus, since each guest will be wearing their own headset, you can also set the volume to be as loud or as low as you want. Don’t like how loud movie theaters are? Or can’t you have it strong enough? It’s yours. Plus, you don’t have to worry about loud and annoying people – the sneers, rowdy ones, and whisperers – and you don’t have to worry about disturbing others yourself, which makes for a fun experience. very comfortable and enjoyable movie viewing.

This month, the cinema is showing six different films: “A Ghost Story”, “The Farewell”, “Exit Through the Gift Shop”, “Love Exposure” (Ai no Mukidashi), “Melancholic” and “Ex Libris: The New York Public Library. ”You can check the Theater Guild website for each movie’s schedule, and if none of these are right for you, they take customer recommendations too!

Each screening has a limit of 10 seats, which cost 2,500 yen each, so you can bring a large group of friends and have the ultimate movie night.

Daikanyama Theater should only be the first of the Theater Guild’s silent theaters. Hopefully over time there will be silent theaters scattered all over Tokyo, and maybe even Japan. They even seem to have the ambition to expand internationally, so who knows? You might see a Silent Theater near you one day.
