Unfortunately, the Aomori Shochiku Theater, alongside the remaining movie theaters in Aomori at the time, were destroyed by the Aomiri Air Raids of July 28, 1945. It was rebuilt and reopened in September 1946 at the same address in the Miho area of Furukawa.

As of 1960, Aomori had a total of 19 movie theaters, but only three are foreign theaters (including American films), which were the Aomori Takarazuka Theater, the Aomori Romanceza Theater (also known as the Romance Theatre in English), and the Aomori Kabukiza Theater. More foreign theaters in the area would later open from time-to-time.

The Aomori Shochiku Theater was relocated to 1-14-3 Furukawa during the late-1960s, and was twinned in 1984 after major renovation. As of 1996, it was managed by Meijiya Kogyo, owned by Hitoshi Yamazaki, and managed by Takashi Yamazaki. Screen 1 ran a mix of Japanese Shochiku and foreign films, while Screen 2 ran foreign films only.

  • Correction: The original location is at the Miho area of Furukawa, not in Teramachi. Teramachi is where the Aomori Toho Theater is, which will have its own CT page soon.
