Theater 1 is Tokyo’s luxurious private villa located deep in the mountains, but only 90 minutes from the city center!
Tired of city life, crowded spaces, and busy commutes? If you live in Tokyo, I’m sure you’ve felt this way before, if not right now, especially during a time when we aren’t even supposed to be getting too close to each other or in crowded and congested spaces.
Maybe you feel like taking a relaxing vacation at a hotel or resort or even going camping to soak in the great outdoors. After all, campings are a great way to relax all while following social distancing protocols.
Maybe you feel like camping, but don’t feel like sleeping in a tent that’ll only heat up under the rising sun, waking you up extremely early. Maybe, you want to experience the great outdoors, but from within the luxury of a cozy home.
If so, I’ve got a place for you.
Theater 1 is a luxurious private hotel, or rather a private villa, located deep in the mountains. The catch here is that despite its remote location, it’s still part of Tokyo, just outside of the city, making it only a 90-minute journey from the city center. Check out their website for a video tour and booking!
Theater 1 sits at 600 meters (nearly 2,000 feet) above sea level on a 5,000 tsubo or almost 180,000 square feet of beautiful mountainous terrain. It’s located on the outskirts of Hinohara Village, the only village in all of Tokyo as all other places are considered towns, wards, districts, and so on.
As you’d imagine, this place is very popular. Currently, the villa is reserved for the next 6 months, and the list keeps growing. It’s likely the result of people preferring to have a getaway or vacation away from crowded resorts and hotels during the pandemic.
As you can see in the pictures, Theater 1 looks amazing and has an extremely modern and elegant design. On the inside, it’s fully furnished with stylish new furniture, has a full kitchen, a fireplace, and a very nice shower and bath. The living room has a huge window so you can gaze off into the mountains. Of course, the place has air conditioning.
As for accommodation, it has one double bed and two sofa-beds, as well as the couches to sleep on. Outside, there are patio lounge chairs perfect for getting some fresh air and a “glamping” or glamorous camping tent, which is more like a luxury tee-pee that also has two single beds and a couch in there well as a bonfire pit.
One more question, do you like movies? Barbeque? Or a fully stocked mini-bar with wine, beer, and breakfast foods for the next morning? Because if you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, or all of them, you’re in luck.
Theater 1 is called “Theater 1” because it has a movie room with a 100-inch screen for a 4K projector that you can browse the various streaming services included with the villa. Also, did I mention it has surround sound?
Moving on, if you get hungry, you can fire up the grill outside and grab some drinks from the minibar. The next morning, you can toast a croissant or something else from the pantry.
As you can imagine, Twitter users in Japan have been going crazy about this place. Check out some Tweets below.
