The Kamakura Kawakita Film Museum was opened in April 2010 on the former home of Nagamasa Kawakita and his wife Kashiko, who made a major contribution to the development of film, in hopes of promoting film culture in Kamakura. The museum exhibits film materials, screens films, and also allows visitors to browse film-related materials and conduct web searches. Lectures, lectures, and workshops are also held throughout the year.
The building is a single-story Japanese-style structure, with a sukiya-style design that blends in with the surrounding environment. The wooden fence has also been restored to its original appearance, and the exhibition room's bright and wide opening offers a view of the lush garden, creating the tranquil atmosphere of the ancient city of Kamakura.
Although it is close to the bustling Komachi-dori street, it is located in a quiet environment that you would never guess is just one street away, allowing you to spend a relaxing time in the atmosphere of the ancient city of Kamakura. Although the lights of movie theaters have disappeared from Kamakura city, the theater equipped with a film projector regularly shows masterpieces from all over the world and throughout history, allowing you to enjoy movies on a large screen.
