  If you are a movie enthusiast, this is a great place to stay as you are literally staying in an old movie theatre. 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. His friend also hosts a small cafe on the first floor which adds to its charm - nice for a quick coffee break. Would love to come back.

  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!!!

  Amazing stay at Kosuke-san’s place - he was an incredible host who went the extra mile: providing us extra blankets when the weather got cold, driving out to assist us... read more when we got stuck in Hakone due to the weather and then offering alternatives when the weather made it hard for him to reach us, and just communicating really well throughout our stay. We appreciate Kosuke-san as a host so much, and will recommend this place to anyone visiting 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!

  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.

  an amazing and unique place to stay. Kosuke was a wonderful host and made sure we always had everything we needed.

  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!

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

  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.

  The Mountain Cinema was the most unique place we've ever inhabited! It was fun and funky, and its location in Gotemba couldn't have been better! Its access to the train... read more station, shopping, izakayas and markets was perfect. Our favorite part was watching Jurassic World on the gigantic movie screen! What a treat!

  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!

  The host is very passionate, easy to communicate and polite.
The screening room is big. It is great if you bring a lot of friends to stay.

  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.

  I wish I could give this stay 6 stars. Kosuke was the nicest airbnb host I have stayed with in my 7 years using this app. The place is incredible... read more and the pictures do not do it justice. 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

  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.
