  We loved our stay at this very unique AirBnB. If we return to Gotemba, we'll definitely stay there again!

  Kosuke is a great Host, even showed us a great place to eat within the city. The Cinema is excellent and the rooms are great.

  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.

  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.

This man has done a wonderful job reconstructing this beautiful theater into an incredible inn. The place is spotless, and he has all the amenities you will need for your time there. He is so kind and helpful, coming to help us when we were lost getting to his stay, and even sharing great places to eat and see while in Gotemba. The stay is 3 minutes from the train station which is super convenient for traveling from Gotemba, or even taking the bus up to Mt Fuji for a hike. There are plenty of onsen(thermal baths) near this stay, so you can really do it all from this area. He even offered us bikes that we used to coast around the area. Besides the stay, Kosuke is a very kind person, and I plan to return here in the near future to see how his work on this theater has progressed.

  Amazing space for watching films and experiencing local places. Theater has historical significance so it’s cool that it’s kept alive with a place to stay and private screenings. The bathroom... read more and showers are modern and the water pressure is like a massage. Bed is comfortable.
Kitchen had everything we needed for making food as well as fresh beans for coffee and good waffle breakfast.
Music plays in every room as you wish with a tablet so you can choose the vibe.
The local recommendations for food and coffee are fantastic.
Streaming device has options and host makes it easy to connect to hdmi but if you are coming from outside Japan make sure your devices work well ahead of time. I was able to get some classic films working on YouTube after criterion and hbo max failed completely for certain movies (mirroring did not work even if downloaded). Netflix on the host device had a few English subtitle films but most I searched for were not. Hope to visit again in warm weather.

  Awesome stay, very convenient to restaurants and train station.

Kosuke was also kind enough to leave us some waffles for breakfast and let us borrow bicycles to explore Gotemba with. 🙂

  Bu eşsiz Airbnb deneyimi kesinlikle unutulmazdı! Sinemalı bir evde konaklama fikri zaten çok cazipti, ama gerçek deneyim beklentilerimizin çok ötesine geçti.

Bunun yanı sıra evin diğer alanları da çok temiz ve düzenliydi. Konforlu yataklar, ihtiyaç duyabileceğiniz her şeyi bulabileceğiniz bir mutfak ve huzurlu bir ortam vardı. Ev sahibimiz ise inanılmaz derecede misafirperver ve samimiydi. Girişten çıkışa kadar her konuda çok yardımcı oldu, iletişimi oldukça hızlıydı ve kendimizi özel hissettirmek için ekstra çaba gösterdi.

Kısacası her şey mükemmeldi!
