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.

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.

The bed was comfortable and warm, bathrooms were pristine and the kitchen was really well equipped for cooking.
