Gotemba Premium Outlets
Gotemba Premium Outlets is one of the largest outlet shopping malls in Japan, set against sweeping views of Mt. Fuji on clear days. It’s located in Gotemba City, Shizuoka Prefecture, about a 40–50 minute drive from the villa, and features around 200 stores spanning Japanese and international fashion, outdoor gear, homeware, and food brands at discounted prices.
The outlet mall is arranged in an open-air village style, making for a pleasant walk between stores even outside of shopping. There are also several dining options on-site, from casual food courts to sit-down restaurants, so it’s easy to spend a half-day or full day here without needing to leave the area.
If you’re looking to pick up souvenirs, outdoor and camping gear for your stay, or simply want a change of pace from nature and lake activities, Gotemba Premium Outlets pairs well with a visit to nearby Fuji Safari Park on the same day.
