Shop with Mt. Fuji as your backdrop
Gotemba is a small city in Shizuoka Prefecture best known for Gotemba Premium Outlets — Japan's largest outlet mall, featuring over 290 luxury and international brands at significant discounts. What makes it truly special is the stunning view of Mt. Fuji that towers over the shopping complex on clear days.
But Gotemba offers much more than retail therapy. The surrounding area is a gateway to some of the Fuji region's finest natural attractions — from tranquil lakes and forest walks to hot springs and traditional Japanese inns where you can unwind after a day of shopping and sightseeing.
For Turkish visitors especially, tax-free luxury shopping, striking natural scenery, and easy access from Tokyo make Gotemba an irresistible stop on any Japan itinerary.
Best Time to Visit
Winter and Spring offer the clearest Fuji views. January–February brings the biggest discounts. We recommend avoiding Golden Week (late April–early May) when domestic crowds peak.
Getting There
90 minutes from Tokyo by direct bus, or by train to Gotemba Station + shuttle. We include Gotemba in our Fuji-area day trips with private transport.
