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!!!

this was one of the most amazing Airbnb experiences. You get your own retro, vintage theatre with amazing local restaurants in easy walking distance. We rented Kosuke's place over the... read more few days we were hiking Mt Fuji and it was perfect for easy access to transport as well as plenty of space and laundry facilities for hike prep and pack down. I would highly recommend Kosuke and his place for a home away from home.

It was very convenient to get to the nearby onsens as well. He’s the best host - always has great suggestions and always trying to improve the place. I look forward to our third trip to this place. 🫡

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 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 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.

Staying here was an awesome experience. We could watch all the movies we always wanted to see in the cinema in a cozy private cinema. The whole Airbnb is so... read more cool and every cm has so many cool movie details. Kosuke is a real nice guy and always answered real quickly whenever we had aquestion. It is absolutely worth a visit whenever you're around.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

Incredible location, an old cinema lovingly renovated by Kosuke. Truly unique experience. Our kids were obsessed!

We also appreciated somewhere with a bit of space after so many tiny homes in Japan.

Bu eşsiz Airbnb deneyimi kesinlikle unutulmazdı! Sinemalı bir evde konaklama fikri zaten çok cazipti, ama gerçek deneyim beklentilerimizin çok ötesine geçti. Evin dekorasyonu özenle düşünülmüş ve hem estetik hem de... read more konfor açısından kusursuzdu. Sinema odası tam anlamıyla bir harikaydı; kaliteli ekipmanları ve rahat oturma düzeni sayesinde kendimizi gerçekten bir sinema salonunda gibi hissettik. Film izlerken keyifli vakit geçirmek için ideal bir yer!
Bunun yanı sıra evin diğer alanları da çok temiz ve düzenliydi. Konforlu yataklar, ihtiyaç duyabileceğiniz her şeyi bulabileceğiniz bir mutfak ve huzurlu bir ortam vardı. Ev sahibimiz ise inanılmaz derecede misafirperver ve samimiydi. Girişten çıkışa kadar her konuda çok yardımcı oldu, iletişimi oldukça hızlıydı ve kendimizi özel hissettirmek için ekstra çaba gösterdi.
Kısacası her şey mükemmeldi!

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.
