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!

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.

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!

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!

Kosuke was also kind enough to leave us some waffles for breakfast and let us borrow bicycles to explore Gotemba with. 🙂

Would 100% recommend - having the cinema screen to ourselves was a one off experience and worth visiting Gotemba for alone.

The space itself is a converted retro movie theater with tons of cool related cinema memorabilia.

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.

You'll find comfortable beds, great showers and restrooms, and even a washing machine.Watching movies in the "living room" theater, is such a fun bonus, it makes for the perfect stay.The host was so fantastic!

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!
