The National Film Archive of Japan 国立映画アーカイブ

As Japan's only national institution of films, the National Film Archive of Japan (NFAJ) serves as a hub for the promotion of film culture through the preservation, research, and screening of films. Situated in Kyobashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, NFAJ is equipped with theaters, a gallery, and a library, where it screens and displays films and film-related materials.

NFAJ is located in Kyobashi, in walking distance of Tokyo Station and Ginza.

It is a one-minute-walk from the two nearest stations, Kyobashi Station (Tokyo Metro Ginza Line) and Takaracho Station (Toei Subway Asakusa Line).

NFAJ boasts a large collection of Japanese films, including oldest surviving Japanese film "Momijigari [Maple Viewing]" (1899) and Ozu Yasujiro's "Tokyo Story" (1953), as well as documentary films and animation films. It also houses a large number of film-related materials such as posters, still pictures, and scripts.

These films and film-related materials are made available to visitors through theme-specific screenings and exhibitions as well as the permanent exhibition “Nihon Eiga: The History of Japanese Film.” Please see the NFAJ website for the screening schedule and availability of English subtitles.
