Gotemba: Shopping with a view of Mount Fuji
10 October, 2022
Gotemba is a friendly city in Shizuoka Prefecture well known for its outlet mall and stunning views of Mount Fuji. It’s easily accessible by highway bus from Shibuya or Tokyo stations in under two hours, making it a great place for an overnight trip or a stop on the way to the Fuji Five Lakes.
Gotemba Premium Outlets
One of the main things Gotemba is famous for is the Gotemba Premium Outlets. The mall has around 300 stores and restaurants, as well as a hotel and onsen (public bath) with views of the mountain. As if that weren’t enough, there’s also a Ferris wheel to take in the view at a leisurely pace. Gotemba Premium Outlets is a very popular shopping spot, so there are often long lines of cars on the road waiting to get in, particularly on public holidays. Make sure to allow extra time for your shopping trip.
Another great thing about Gotemba is its easy access to Mount Fuji and the gorgeous mountain views that can be found all over the city. Driving around, you’ll find plenty of places to stop for a scenic photo.
