Yebisu Garden Cinema
This small, comfortable movie house is at the far end of Yebisu Garden Place and screens foreign independent films, many in English. Tickets are numbered as they are sold and theatre-goers are called to screenings as their numbers come up, preventing competition for seats.

Cine Amuse East/West
This well-known arthouse standby screens Japanese and foreign classics, as well as new independent releases. Coffee, beer and snacks are available at the small café in the lobby. This is a great place to take a break from Shibuya's hectic pace while taking in a matinée.

Eurospace
The focus at this fine theatre remains unwaveringly on small European and Asian films. Eurospace also occasionally hosts documentary or feature-film festivals, which will be listed in the major English-language weeklies, and sometimes screens late shows.

Cinema Rise
Cinema Rise screens independent international cinema, but very few indie Japanese films. Just around the corner is an even more avant-garde space called Rise X (03 3464 8555), a tiny offshoot of Cinema Rise that screens mostly Japanese digital films.

Waseda Shochiku
Waseda Shochiku softens the blow by screening two films for the price you'd normally pay to see one. A favourite among students and cash-strapped expats, the bills normally feature second-run double features, some of an artsy bent.
