He even offered us rides and assisted with shipping items, which we really appreciated.The location is perfect, just a short walk from Gotemba Station.

Despite being close to plenty of late-night food options for our midnight cravings, the house itself is peaceful and quiet.Highly recommend Kosuke’s place , an unforgettable stay 🙂

  Great place to stay.

  I actually came to Gotemba just to stay at Kosukes place and I must say it was unquestionably worth it. As a film lover it was an a magical... read more and surreal experience. I was the only guest that night so I had the whole space to myself. The theater is fantastic and care and detail in every corner of the space was a joy to walk around and discover.

  Kosuke’s place is the best airbnb place I’ve been to! Super unique and well worth the money for the opportunity to live in an old/restored theater (DIY project by... read more Kosuke)! Everything was super clean, the bathrooms were neat to use, and the bed sheets were soooo comfy. Next time I’m visiting Japan, I will make a point to stay at this unique airbnb for a week instead of a few days. There are so many tasty restaurants near by!

  Genuinely the coolest, best place! Definitely will be returning 🙂

  This was one of the coolest Airbnb’s we’ve ever stayed in. The place is beautifully decorated, the beds are comfortable, the apartment has everything you need for a great stay... read more and it has a movie theater. I mean, you can’t beat that. We made popcorn, watch movies and had the absolute best time. We didn’t even want to leave the apartment. Kosuke is a great host. He made sure we were comfortable and gave us some recommendations for things to do in the area. It’s conveniently located and you can make it your base to explore Mt. Fuji.

  Outstanding from start to finish. What an amazing place, coupled with an incredible host. Our only regret was not staying at least 2 nights. Easily the most unique Airbnb we... read more have stayed at. We are a large family of 5 (three daughters) and everything was available for our needs from the kitchen to the bathroom. There are 2 large grocery stores in walking distance with one that closes at 2000 and the other open 24 hrs. We used this as a rest stop between Osaka and Tokyo (driving). Parking was included and was able to accommodate a Toyota Vellfire (full size van) without issue. If you like to cook, this place is perfect for you. Gran some fresh groceries, cook a nice meal and enjoy fabtastic drinks while watching a movie on the big screen that's all yours! Lastly, would recommend bringing your favorite DVD, Nintendo switch (console not included, but sync station available), or laptop with downloaded movies (HDMI port available). Also possible to airplay/android cast. Thank you for all!

It needs some polish however you can... read more tell he has put his blood, sweat & tears to renovate and decorate the place. If you can appreciate the finer details, you will love its uniqueness and ambiance. It was in the middle of everything and only a short walk from the station.

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!

A few steps away from trains and busses, and many places to eat within walking distance, makes this a great location to call home while exploring the area.We had a fantastic stay!

I could... read more only imagine how much fun it would be to watch a few movies with a group of friends. I would 100% come back here for my next visit. Thank you so much Kosuke!

  This was one of the coolest Airbnb's I've ever stayed at. Host was nice and responsive and easily adapted to a last minute guest add. The Airbnb itself is so... read more unique and there are cool movie-esque touches everywhere. There's also an AMAZING pizza place right across the street, ask the host for the name, it's the best pizza we've had in Japan. The best part was watching Anime on the big screen and enjoying snacks & drinks. I would definitely stay again if in the area!

  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.

  The place was insane. The most unique AirBnB I have ever been.

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.

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.

  What a wonderful experience. I sat in the theater with my two daughters watching movies as if I was a king.
