  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!

Il est venu nous chercher en voiture et nous a sauvé la vie.
Nous lui sommes extrêmement reconnaissant.
C'est un hôte très avenant et à l'écoute de c'est invités.
Le logement est proche de la gare et le quartier est plutôt animé le soir.

  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.

  Really cool space to have a chill night in. Very impressed with Kosuke’s DIY, can tell it’s a great passion project. Kosuke was responsive and very accomodating with check-in and... read more recommendations around town. Would be great to go with a group of friends but also very special just the two of us. Would definitely go back! Thanks Kosuke

  Such a fun and unique stay! Would love to come back soon!

  Awesome stay, very convenient to restaurants and train station.

  Un endroit atypique a faire absolument si vous passez dans la région.
De nombreux détails pour les fans de cinéma et de pop culture. Très propre et calme. Je recommande... read more a 100% !!

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

  Great stay in a great place. If you like to watch movies and you are staying in Gotemba, this is where you should stay. Really nice host and a truly... read more unique space.

  This is one of the coolest AirBnBs out there. Kosuke has put a lot of time and love into this place and it shows in the details.

  Kosuke was extremely helpful from beginning till the end. The place was very unique. We were only able to stay for one night which was definitely not enough. 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!

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

  Sehr schicke Unterkunft da ein altes Kino umgebaut wurde. Der Betreiber ist sehr freundlich.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  Eine wundervolle unterkunft, ein großer kinosaal, ein eigenes kino mit eigenem programm, wir haben uns in diese unterkunft verliebt. Sehr schönes ambiente, man erkennt in allem den designer.

  One of the coolest and most creative places I’ve ever stayed. Huge space with plenty to watch! Our host was also unimaginably helpful. He gave us great recommendations for food... read more and parks and made us feel very at home. This place has got to be the best place in Gotemba and definitely worth staying while in Japan!!!

  The owner keeps the place in a very good condition and the decoration inside is amazing, especially the theatre area. You can immerse yourself in the movie scene and enjoy... read more the private moment. On a separate note, the owner is very friendly and responsive. Definitely enjoyed a great time there

  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!

  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!

  Super unique stay, definitely try this if you are headed to Gotemba!

  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.

  By far the coolest Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in!
Kosuke has done an incredible job restoring the old movie theatre and we loved all the tiny little details. ... read more /> The bed was comfortable and warm, bathrooms were pristine and the kitchen was really well equipped for cooking.
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.

  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 owner is very nice, the room is very large and has a sense of design, there are a lot of interesting ornaments, you can see that the owner is... read more very tasteful, we spent a wonderful two nights here, it is a pity that we left in a hurry and did not say goodbye to the owner in person, hope to come again next time

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

  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.

  Coolest AirBnB I've ever stayed in! Great location (right next to Gotemba Station), and the host (Kosuke) was very responsive to messages. Would stay again!
