Omiya Hata Plaza

Since its opening in 1970, the Hata Plaza has provided entertainment for residents of the former city of Omiya and surrounding towns and cities, including a 1,060-seat triplex movie theater called the Omiya Hata Plaza, which also opened that same year.

This is also one of the more popular movie theaters in the Saitama area, which ran a ton of American first-run box-office smashes throughout the years. But unfortunately, the triplex closed on June 18, 2006 because of deterioration and was demolished afterward to make way for the Grand Mid Towers Omiya, two 30-story twin towers that were completed in August 2011.

Screen 1 (known as Hata Plaza) housed 500 seats and was known for screening the most major American box office smashes. It was also an affiliate of the Nichigeki 1 (later the TOHO Cinemas Nichigeki Screen 1) series), as well as the Nihon Gekijo during its early heyday.

Screens 2 and 3 (or Hata Cinema 1 and 2) housed 280 seats each that also screened foreign films. Screen 2 is an affiliate of the Nichigeki 3 (later TOHO Cinemas Nichigeki Screen 3) as well as the Nichigeki Plaza, and Screen 3 is an affiliate of Marunouchi Louvre.
