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!

4/12/2023 - 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.

4/07/2025 If you're looking for something other than the typical Japanese business hotel, or western chain hotel, this is your place!Very clean and well-appointed, this space is suited for smaller families... read more (like ours) or larger groups. 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! He greeted us, and made sure all our needs were met. He is an artist, and created this artful place himself. He was so friendly, he felt like part of our family. 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!

You even... read more get your own private vintage-style cinema room, and every room in the house has its own distinctive design.Kosuke is incredibly kind and helpful. . he genuinely makes sure everything runs smoothly. He even offered us rides and assisted with shipping items, which we really appreciated.The location is perfect, just a short walk from Gotemba Station. It made getting to Fuji-Q Highland, Gotemba Outlet, and other attractions so easy. Despite being close to plenty of late-night food options for our midnight cravings, the house itself is peaceful and quiet.Highly recommend Kosuke’s place , an unforgettable stay 🙂

11/22/2025 - 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!

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.

1/24/2025 Kosuke’s place is the best airbnb place I’ve been to! Super unique and well worth the money for the opportunity to live in an old/restored theater (DIY project by... read more Kosuke)! 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!

Enrico
5/08/2025 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.
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. 
Amy
6/23/2024 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.

4/11/2025 - 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.

7/15/2024 We enjoyed the spaciousness of Kosuke’s place. As described, it feels like a home but not one filled with Ikea furnishings. It is rare to have 2 showers and 2... read more toilets in a Japanese home and that appealed to us immensely. Kosuke is a great host. He checked on us to make sure we settled into the apartment we well. He has heating devices to warm the beds which we loved.

5/09/2026 Wow. One of the best Airbnb’s I have stayed at. Thanks to the hosts passion and creativity the theater has been restored in beautiful and thoughtful ways. It was an... read more immersive experience that I wish I could have enjoyed longer.The bnb is large with several rooms and beds. 2 different shower rooms and toilets. Large living room, kitchen, and an even larger theater, of course. Everything you could need and more. I stayed in January so my only note is of course it was a bit cold You should definitely use the heaters and blankets the host provides. The cold was no problem tho because the host offered many times information on heating and extra blankets. The host was very responsive and helpful on every request and question. He even waited for us to arrive at maybe 9pm so he could show us around and how to use the facilities.It is directly across from the station. Just a few minutes walk.Walk down the street one minute and you see Mt. Fuji! I would write more but out of space. Thanks!

9/18/2023 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.

8/09/2024 The theater is so cool, I love feeling like I have my own private showing. The bathroom area is nice and clean with towels provided. You can have some snacks... read more like popcorn and coffee provided which I loved. I got locked out of my room by mistake when going to the restroom at night so either bring your key with you or take out the battery for the self locking mechanism, although this happened very late kosuke was able to help me. The theater and lobby are under construction so please understand there is a construction smell but the common area and living rooms are very nice. The iPad to play music made the experience that much more comfortable. Also it’s right across the street from the station which makes catching any bus (including the free premium outlet bus) v Ty simple.
