Biult on the site of a bowling alley, the Omiya Hata Bowling Centre. Since its opening on November 18, 1976, 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.

Correction: The Omiya Hata Plaza actually opened its doors on November 18, 1976 on site of a former bowling alley called the Omiya Hata Bowling Center (sometimes known as Hata Bowl). Its a triplex housing 1,060 seats, with Screen 1 housing 500 seats, and Screens 2 and 3 housing 280 seats each.
Screen 1 (the Plaza) and Screen 3 (Hata Cinema 2) screens foreign films only (including American films), while Screen 2 (Hama Cinema 1) screens a mix of Japanese and foreign. Alongside the three auditoriums, the Hata Plaza itself also housed a billiards hall, a table tennis court, and an arcade.
Correction: This opened on November 18, 1976, not 1970, on site of a former bowling alley called the Omiya Hata Bowling Center.
