Walking times are estimates from OpenStreetMap’s surface street network at 80 m/min. They exclude underpasses, decks, station concourses, signal waits, slopes and movement inside buildings. Straight-line links are not walking routes; follow on-site signs even where a time is shown. Shaded quarters show the approximate areas around FOW’s selected places.
Begin with the film language and tickets, or the purpose of the book visit.

Jimbocho Theater Cinema
Check Jimbocho Theater’s film, subtitle information and same-day tickets first. If the language and box-office arrangement work, leave time for one screening. Choose the film when seating and language work; otherwise, choose another visit.
Switch the film to one bookshop; omit a meal if unwanted or closed.
When the film works
Check Jimbocho Theater’s film, subtitle information and same-day tickets first. If the language and box-office arrangement work, leave time for one screening. Choose the film when seating and language work; otherwise, choose another visit.
Switch the purpose to books
For books instead of a film, choose Isseido for antiquarian subjects or Kitazawa for English. Check their separate hours and Kitazawa’s 2F location. This choice does not require the cinema and both bookshops.
Pie or curry for the meal
If you add a meal, compare Luncheon’s beef pie or omurice with Bondy’s curry by what you want to eat. Luncheon also marks paused dishes, so do not order from an old description alone. Both are on 2F, with different entrance/lift arrangements. Omit an unwanted or unsuitable meal. Use a current map and the actual entrances to plan the transfer. Check the route separately if walking time or a step-free connection matters to your group.
