"Gotemba" Fuji by Riccard

Fuji Travel Guide: 36 reviews and 92 photos

Lets GO Shopping

Why not combine one of the worlds most famous mountains with a strole in a large outlet?

Getting to Gotemba from Tokyo, was around 14dollars I believe (try to take the one that does no stops, no extra charge).

To get to the mall you then jump on a small local bus outside the station.
From the top of the outlet mall there is a Paris wheel where you can get a higher view (get rid of all the buildings) when you tty to take a photo of the mountain.

The Mall itself is, as everything in Japan when it comes to brand clothing overprices. You can find the same clothes at other places in the world (not fake versions) for a fraction of the same price. I'm starting to believe in the rumors of that Japanese people goes to Hawaii to buy famous Brand clothes must be true I guess.

The Mall is however very large, and although there isnt THAT much clothes here, there are enough to keep you busy for a while.

They do take credit, but no TaxFree.
And they no NOT lower the already lowered prices ;)

But they are EXTREAMLY Friendly to you!

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Mt Fuji!!!
  • Cons:OverPriced Clothes!
  • In a nutshell:Take your Gf, but make sure you leave the VISA at home. Buy her an icecream and enjoy the view of Mt. Fuji from the Pariswheel.
