  Had a wonderful stay and Kosuke was a great host. The pictures really don’t do the space justice. The entire place has a lot of history and is a really... read more unique space. Great for a couples getaway or even with a group of friends to hang out. The theater room is really the highlight, with a cozy setup and amazingly big screen and sound system. You really get a private movie theater all to yourself! The location is also amazing. Literally a couple minutes from Gotemba station and located right next to some amazing restaurants. We were pleasantly surprised by the great food served at the nearby izakayas.

I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to travel to Gotemba.

  I think that this is truly a unique airbnb. It has a cinema, complete with a kitchen and is nicely renovated, which makes it more than just a great place... read more to stay in.I truly recommend this Airbnb for a few days for people stopping by at Gotemba!

  By far the most unique AirBnB we’ve ever stayed in. We had a car, so this was very conveniently located to do the Hakone tourism circuit and also get close... read more up views of Fuji to the northwest (Lake Kawaguchi). The space itself is a converted retro movie theater with tons of cool related cinema memorabilia. The host has added a great projection/audio setup to the theater itself with lots of streaming options available. The rest of the place has plenty of space and beds, with all the amenities you’d need. It’s located in a lively part of town very close to the train station. The host is also very friendly, helpful, and communicative. If we ever find ourselves in the Hakone region again, we definitely would like to stay here again.

  We enjoyed the spaciousness of Kosuke’s place. As described, it feels like a home but not one filled with Ikea furnishings. It is rare to have 2 showers and 2... read more toilets in a Japanese home and that appealed to us immensely. Kosuke is a great host. He checked on us to make sure we settled into the apartment we well. He has heating devices to warm the beds which we loved.

  The theater is so cool, I love feeling like I have my own private showing. The bathroom area is nice and clean with towels provided. You can have some snacks... read more like popcorn and coffee provided which I loved. I got locked out of my room by mistake when going to the restroom at night so either bring your key with you or take out the battery for the self locking mechanism, although this happened very late kosuke was able to help me. The theater and lobby are under construction so please understand there is a construction smell but the common area and living rooms are very nice. The iPad to play music made the experience that much more comfortable. Also it’s right across the street from the station which makes catching any bus (including the free premium outlet bus) v Ty simple.

  This was, by far, my favorite rental for our stay in Japan. Kosuke is extremely helpful with recommendations and went out of his way to help navigate renting a car.... read more The pictures do not do justice to the space. The cinima is HUGE!

  Kosuke is a great host. The place is unique and beautiful

  This is a great place. The Theatre Room is spectacular and perfect when you need to chill out during your trip in Japan. The host - that you actually meet... read more in person - is very welcoming, helpful and eager to make your staying as nice as possible, while never being intrusive. The place is also greatly decorated with lots of charm - not like many other Airbnb places that are impersonal and look like an Ikea store - and has a great book library. Highly recommended.

  The best AirBnB we've ever stayed at. Movie theater was incredible and we loved Gotemba--many restaurants and bars just steps away. We hope to come back again someday.

  An incredible, unique experience with an unparalleled host. Kosuke was very easy to communicate with and always responded quickly, attentive to all of our requests and went out of our... read more way to make sure our experience in town was as good as it could be. He also speaks English well.

The place itself is unlike any Airbnb I’ve experienced. The movie theater is huge and it’s easy to hook up your computer and sit back on one of the many couches to a movie or sports event on a massive screen with an theater grade sound system. The non bunk bed room is very nice, as well as the bunk beds and each door has its own lock. Kotsuke lives upstairs so he is available, but he gave us our privacy the whole time.
Could fit 10 comfortably, has two showers two bathrooms. Has a washer.

There are all these little touches around the place that make it such an experience. So many surprises and little touches to the place. So much more to say, but I’ve hit the character limit. Do not miss out!

  great place to stay! I would definitely come back again if I'm in town! super awesome for people who wants to relax after a long day to watch movies!

Kosuke was also kind enough to leave us some waffles for breakfast and let us borrow bicycles to explore Gotemba with. 🙂
Communication was easy and instructions were clear.
Would 100% recommend - having the cinema screen to ourselves was a one off experience and worth visiting Gotemba for alone.

  Host is very friendly, chill and responsive. Sadly I couldn’t climb Mt. Fuji this time but I had a good stay. I will make it next year.
