Very nice experience here. Watched Wonder Woman and had a good time! Nice snacks though a bit expensive.

Ticket price is ok, films are generally in japanese or original version. Theaters are confortable

I live in Kyoto and come here often. Very clean theaters, nothing sticky, no leftover popcorn. They recently installed all automated ticket machines. Concessions are expensive, but it's a theater and what you'd expect. I find American theaters to be extremely loud, and these ones have appropriate volume.
Japanese theaters have assigned seats, so buy tickets early if you're going to a new release and you won't have to fight the crowd. The best time to go is late at night - tickets are cheaper and the auditoriums are usually empty.
Also, Kyoto's theaters are usually silent during the film; nobody laughs or yells, and there's never chitchat. That can be strange if you're not used to it.
Overall, 5-stars. It's right downtown and both buildings are very well run.

A Japanese cinema experience is quite something! You can choose your seating, use credit cards to pay at the oh-so-convenient self serve ticket machines, and you can have salty or sweet popcorn. Also, beer. Woo! I enjoyed this very much. Note: you will have to make your way using some Japanese, for the smoothest experience possible. Keep in mind that everyone stays until the very end of the credits and is dead silent throughout. ;)
