Gotemba Premium Outlets was established in 2000 and is the largest outlet mall in Japan. It is easily accessible from famous tourist spots such as Hakone, Izu, and Mt. Fuji, and is a popular spot to stop by during sightseeing.
The interior of the outlet mall, which was designed to resemble a North American town, is simply vast! It is divided into three areas: East Zone, West Zone, and Hillside, which opened in 2020, with about 290 stores. In addition to high brands such as Burberry and Armani and sporting goods brands such as Nike and Adidas, there are also a wide variety of restaurants. Many of them are opening their doors for the first time in Japan, so you will never get bored throughout the day.
The Hillside Zone has a miniature amusement park, making it a great facility for families with children. Thanks to the outlet's hotel and day spa facilities, it is possible to enjoy shopping until the very end of the opening hours and rest in your room or at the spa. There are many direct bus routes from the Tokyo metropolitan area and Shizuoka Prefecture, so you can use the hotel as a base for sightseeing. This is a shopping resort that will expand your enjoyment of outlet shopping.
