noctarium/マウント劇場

  An incredible, unique experience with an unparalleled host. Kosuke was very easy to communicate with and always responded quickly, attentive to all of our requests and went out of our... read more way to make sure our experience in town was as good as it could be. He also speaks English well.

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!

  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!

  One place that you'll wanna visit again soon. A big screen for movie, a warm place for gathering. All you need is having your friends to visit this place together... read more and enjoy Kosuke's magic bnb.

  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.

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

  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!

  cool place to live

  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!

  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.

  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.

  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

  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.

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

  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.

  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. Next time I come back to Japan, I will definitely be visiting 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.

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

  I had a wonderful stay at this apartment! The host was incredibly friendly and always available whenever I needed assistance, making my stay even more enjoyable.

  By far the coolest Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in!

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.

  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

  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.

  This place is truly unique, situated in a very pleasant and conveniently located area. You're just a short walk to delicious lunch and dinner options, and a quick turn reveals... read more the stunning views of Mount Fuji. The host, Kasuke-san, is exceptionally kind and incredibly helpful. I highly recommend this place.

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

  Le logement de Kosuke est très atypique, cependant il reste très agréable.

  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.

  Great stay and a very unique location. If you like cinema, there are a lot of cool Japanese magazines and posters of famous movies. The cinema room itself was awesome,... read more and the host let us use his Netflix and Disney plus accounts and his DVD collection, so we didn’t have to worry about bringing a laptop. Would stay here again! 🙂

  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!
