Great outlets with TONS of designers stores; definitely come ready to shop! A few things to keep in mind: 1. The traffic can be really heavy at times so a 1 hour ride from the various stations in Tokyo can easily turn Into 2 or more so give yourself enough time for the return trip so you’re not rushed. 2. For those visiting out of the country you can essentially shop “tax free” but it really all depends on the retailer it seems. Some places I paid 1.5% others were 2%. They had laminated cards at the retailers I visited along with other province and local information. 3. Take in the beautiful scenery. The center is c situated within a mountain so the views are actually quite nice. 4. If you’re an American, the service from the associates may seem a bit overwhelming but it really was refreshing to see how helpful everyone was. And it didn’t matter if the store was high end or not, the treatment was consistent. 5. If you’re taking the bus service from points within Tokyo, DO NOT show up late to the departure area. Buses board as early as 20 minutes before departure and leave on time!

Heaven for branded fashion shoppers. This place is much bigger, much more complete, and very well run. I am comparing it with the Outlet Mall in Niagara (Toronto, Canada) and the many DFOs (Discount Factory Outlets) in Australia, and the Grand Prairie near Dallas Fort Worth Airport. The crowd and the number of people should convince you that you’re probably in one of the best discount branded mall in the world. We had so much fun. Getting there is by express buses which is a misnomer. Traffic and roadworks made the journey >3 hours getting up there. Check out the bonus Fuji-san view from bridge coming back from Hillsite to West.

Gotemba Premium Outlets is one of the best outlet malls I have visited in Japan. The mall is huge with three sections connected by bridges. It has almost all the name brands that I'm looking for. The direction of the stores is clearly labeled. The mall itself is well-maintained and very clean. The shopping experience here is very relaxing.

A part of the tour that didn't interest us but it is the main itinerary for some of the tour bus passengers. We were dropped off near Hotel Clad and given around 90 minutes for shopping. Oh man, some of them can run! We just took in the sights and had the complimentary bento under the shade before heading to the Food Bazaar for air con and seats. For serious shoppers, planning to visit the shops in a convenient manner takes priority. We marveled at the people coming back to the tour bus with many bags of purchases.

Big shopping outlets for big brands. There are three zones: East, West and Hillside. Ample parking for those with cars, good dining choices and very nice views, specially that of Mt. Fuji on a good weather.

It was the first time for me to go there. There were some stores that they aren't at another Outlet s mall, for instance Sony Plaza, Sanrio. And, some of them offer limited goods. I found goods combined Mt.Fuji. There were decorated as Halloween. So, I have felt fun just walking.

​"Fantastic combination of serious shopping with a truly breathtaking view of Mount Fuji." ​"It's a huge center with a great variety of brands—perfect for a full day of exploring and finding bargains."

A Journey Above the Clouds Climbing Mount Fuji (3,776m) is more than a hike — it’s a test of will and wonder. From the 5th Station, the trail starts easy with cool air and ramen stops, but soon turns into a battle of endurance as the air thins and the slopes steepen. The night climb was magical — stars overhead, headlamps snaking up the mountain. Reaching the summit at 4:30 a.m. to witness Goraikō, Japan’s sacred sunrise, was pure awe. The descent? Slippery and tough, but the sense of achievement made every step worth it. 🌅Unforgettable. Humbling. Beautiful. My trip is started end of August , start at night for sunrise, layer up, and pace yourself.

Breathtaking and unforgettable experience! Seeing Mt. Fuji in person is truly magical. The view is stunning from every angle, especially on a clear day or during sunrise and sunset. Whether you visit the 5th Station, Lake Kawaguchi, or view it from afar, the scenery is peaceful and awe-inspiring. It’s a must-see landmark that captures the beauty of Japan’s nature and spirit. A perfect spot for photos, hiking, and unforgettable memories!

A reminder that Mt. Fuji represents strength, resilience, and enduring character, similar to the steadfastness of the mountain itself. A spiritual symbol of spiritual growth and enlightenment, a national symbol of Japan's strength, and a source of artistic inspiration.

Don't underestimate this place, some may so it's a walk in the park but it's not. If you're not fit, you will suffer, especially if you plan on ascending and descending on the same day which is what I had done. I do a lot of walk and hike but this was the first proper mountain I had ever climbed. It wasn't so much of my fitness that was an issue, but rather, the altitude sickness. And yes, altitude sickness is real! About ⅔ into the climb, I started feeling the affects of it. For every few steps I went up in elavation, I kept stopping because I felt like hurling. Eventually, I threw up three times, at three different stages of the latter part of the climb. My companion on the other hand, who had never done this let alone walking or hiking, didn't suffer a bit. So it does differ in affects, from person to person. But having said that, do stay overnight and acclimatise for God's sake, as it will make the climb more pleasurable.

The gorgeous Mount Fuji! Blessed to witness this volcano peak on a clear day. One can never be tired watching this view the whole day.

It was an amazing experience! View at the top will take your breath away and is totally worth the eight hour hike. We took the Subashiri Trail and stayed at Tomoekan. Enjoyed the nature, plenty of blue sky and the feeling of walking on cloud, literally. Highly recommend of you are considering this. To optimize your experience , highly recommend you work out and prep yourself physically well enough before the climb.

Visiting Mt. Fuji is a breathtaking and unforgettable experience. Seeing this majestic peak in person feels truly magical — its beauty shines from every angle, especially at sunrise or sunset. Whether you’re admiring it from the 5th Station, the shores of Lake Kawaguchi, or from afar, the scenery is serene and awe-inspiring. A true symbol of Japan’s natural beauty and spirit — perfect for photos, hikes, and lifelong memories.

An open and wide Safari park where you can drive around watching different animals in the wild. If you want to feed animals you can ride their cute safari buses. We came here during holiday season so as expected it was so crowded and buses was not available. So we used our car. Our second time here, watching animals in the wild was really a great experienced.

I took my family here a couple years ago, it was an incredible experience! Very few places let you get so up close to the animals. Facilities were great, had very good cell phone service too. Staff was friendly, I recommend this to anyone with kids in the area.

I felt excited here! The super jungle bus is a must-try! I really enjoyed to view various animals. Unfortunately, the weather was not good to see Fujisan. I’ll go there in near future.

Open animal park that’s mostly a petting zoo. There’s a motorized portion where you can ride on a bus and feed the animals or drive through in a personal or rental vehicle with no feeding. YOU MUST BRING CASH!! Check the pics for prices or look online but EVERYTHING with the exception of buying the bus tickets and two restaurants requires cash. There is NO ATM on site which is ridiculous!! They have signs saying no food near the animals, but there are green spaces to eat your food if you bring it and coolers were seen around the parks. Very enjoy experience. Come early if you want to do the jungle bus option as it feels up fast. Wear comfortable shoes as theirs lots of walking on uneven and steep terrain

We visited Fuji Safari Park last weekend and had an amazing time. We drove our own car through the park and got to see the animals really close up. A great experience for all ages! It was safe, exciting, and felt very special seeing lions, bears, and more right beside our car. If you’re thinking about doing the safari with your own vehicle, you just need to buy admission tickets. Buying them online from the Safari’s page is easy and helps save a bit of money too. The best part is you can use your tickets any day within 90 days after purchase, which is super convenient for families.

At first we didn’t know it was a drive through ZOO. It’s the only one I have tried in Asia. If you have your own car you can drive your own but it’s you don’t have they have a bus to take you. Many safari animal inside, I think it’s a great place for elderly who can’t walk long or for kids is a good choice too. You can even feed kangaroos, capybara etc.

A Safari Park! I was the driver so sadly couldn't take many photos. A zebra decided the car next to me made a great butt scratcher. This is all that is fun about a Drive through zoo. a rather large one as well as it took 1 hr to drive through the exhibits and watch all the Animals. maybe next time I will do the Safari walk!

Okay station, toilets are a bit far, and it has exits for both sides. There is a convenience store inside.

a lot of marines and jgsdf personnel. direct bus to Shibuya,shinjyuku,yokohama

Gotemba Station stamp inside the help/office counter to the ride side of the ticket entrance/exit.

⚠️🚌🚍be ware, Google map has something wrong with this place! There are 2 bus station around this area! If you going Hakone direction please go another side of the station, there is another bus station, don’t follow the Google map. Ask the staff at the station and the bus driver make sure you get on the right bus. 🚌Google map didn’t tell you, there are free bus going premium outlet village, every 15 minutes, it’s can stop by two stations on the way back to here, check out the picture, and use it well.

Such incredible friendly and helpful volunteer guides, in the tourist information, and on the 2nd floor. Thank you for getting us onto the correct bus. Your kindness is appreciated!

Just bought ticket to Kawaguchiko station. There is a kiosk for you to buy ticket and a transit board for you to refer where you want to go, it’s very informative

Clear instruction to catch the free bus stop to Gotemba Premium Outlet!

Very nice traditional Japanese sweets place situated inside a bamboo forest. The place may be a bit hard to find especially if you are arriving by foot. The shiruko and dorayaki both tasted very good and a must try. The amazake had a very unique and refreshing taste too.

I walk to this shop. It's seems middle of nowhere but amazing surroundings by bamboos and trees very Japanese nature. Shop creat such a nice ambience for customers! Sweets are excellent and tea is perfect ( you can ask refills for free of charge) good experience.

Yummy dango and nice scenery. Free carpark available near the shop

Personally I don’t think it worth the time to line up to enjoy the tea or sweets. The queue is slow and a waste of time. Spend your time and money elsewhere.

Beautiful setting. Arguably the best sakura mochi I ever had. But rediculous queue, more than 1 hour wait despite arriving literally 5 minutes after opening. Some items sold out in first 15 minutes. And stupid system where most of the cafe tables were empty during that hour of waiting but they make you line up anyway (to make it look more popular?) You have to clean up your own table too, which is unexpected at this price point

It’s a beautiful place for traditional Japanese sweets and desserts. Love the little stroll before reaching the cafe which is calm and peaceful on the day I visited. Not too crowded but with only Japanese crowd. I love the Sakura matcha mochi. Take note that goggle map bring us to the location of the office behind. If coming by car or bus please park at the big carpark which we can see along the main road

Cozy Japanese-style or green-tea dedicated cafe with traditional Japanese sweets. Located near Gotemba outlet mall and next to Kishi Residence. Able to enjoy drinking hot or cold green tea as you want with Japanese sweets.

We've been travelling through Japan for two months and one of the few whisky bottles I bought was one from Kirin Fuji Gotemba. It made me want to go to the distillery. The tour was organized very well, we had an earpiece with English audio while walking through the distillery and at the end a tasting. Some outstanding whisky's and you had the possibility to buy whisky's that you can only buy there. Definitely recommend it when you're in the neighbourhood or even a little trip from Tokyo.

The (Japanese only) guided tour was excellent as the guide was very knowledgeable and the tasting was enjoyable. They take drink driving very seriously and will call the police on you if you plan to drink any amount and drive. (They warned you no less than six times during registration and again at the tasting room)

really enjoy the guided tour today :) although I don't understand Japanese, I was provided a machine that explains each step throughout the tour, the tour guide is very kind & gave me English translation of key information. Highly recommended this tour if you pass by Gotemba, an eye-opening journey ❤️

Great place to be, learnt a lot from the talented guide. For foreigners, there are free audio guides so you would know what is going on along the tour. They have free shuttle traveling between the distillery and the train station nearby.

Well planned tour in the factory. The translator machine only offer english. For Mandarin speaker got brochure to refer. We took the free bus to the distillery. After the tour, you still have around 20mins to purchase the items in their mini shop.

Visited in October 2018. Love the theater presentation. It’s bravo. 2 kinds of whiskey for tasting with free of charge. Besides of this, we paid for tasting some nicer whiskey. A lovely lady shown us how to mixing cocktail with their products.

This is apparently one of the world's largest whisky distilleries and one of the few to make both grain (3 styles) and single malt. Unfortunately I arrived too late to do a tour. Tasting bar and shop were worth visiting, and staff were friendly. Must return to do the tour.

This was amazing. I was not sure what to expect. It was just described to me as a "tunnel". It was a series of light displays each with a different theme for the tunnel portion. There were more areas too. A great experience. I recommend you check it out.

The Gotemba Illumination Park in Japan is known for its stunning light displays, particularly during the winter season. Visitors often praise the beautiful and romantic atmosphere created by the intricate illuminations, making it a great place to visit during the holiday season. Free parking 🅿️ available Little bit crowded on weekends

We got there at 9, and as it was so late the last show was running and there weren't a lot of people (bonus), lights were great and would highly recommend going late at night.

My family and I have been visiting Gotenba regularly since 2008 and have stayed in the Tokinosumika resort several times. The illumination started off small, but we have watched it grow and improve over the years. It is really beautiful and adds to the romantic feel of the area. They have illumination longer than most areas too. They even have a summer display which runs until the end of August. There are plenty of places to eat, but please note the restaurants tend to close early (8 or 9 pm). The area is worth a visit during the day too, especially with kids, as there is lots to do.

It is great please to watch the Mountain Fuji

We come here every year! Every year the theme is different. Best for kids and adults!!!

It’s a great place for family ! You can enjoy illumination lights tunnel ,water show ,kaleidoscope moments and much more 🤩

I wish this place was closer to my house! First time coming here after the outlets, and it currently ranks the 2nd best onsen I have been to! The buffet was delicious, and I wish I was more hungry to eat and drink a lot! I came by bike/motorcycle, so I just bypassed the gate from the side (since it didn't detect motorcycles) to park. There was a lot of parking on Monday! The deep bath was new to me, I never experienced such a bath before and it was very nice (it's like you can swim in it (¯∇¯٥)) Also the sauna too! I enjoyed the aroma (and the little session they had inside where they had someone fanning the aroma and hot air, wow!) I want to come again, perhaps you may want a little sign for motorcycles, please! (*ᴗˬᴗ)

I stay for tonightwith my family members of 3 together. This morning my wife and son still in bed. I want to wake up early to take the morning picture with Fujiyama sunrise morning. After picture taken. I don't want to disturb my family. I just go into the restaurant having the breakfast time myself. The front counter is a very limited in English. Ask me how many. My answer one of myself and give him one to show and let him know myself only. Then he gave me a card to go in restaurant go get the seat is all you can eat. I just hang around and enjoy my coffee breakfast with my phone entertainment. After 2 hours my wife call me we are ready to go premium outlet shopping again. Late afternoon time we go back to the hotel. We will be check out for tomorrow. My normal practice will go into the hotel lobby front desk and check the bill. This by accident the staff print out the bill to show me breakfast charge 8 people. This is ridiculous. I believe after the pandemic have a lot of lousy management. Even though the staff not to be training what is the hospitality. Good luck I'm very very angry looks like I've been cheat. If you don't know how to speak Japanese. Please don't come in here. Building is nice. Facility is good. But compare into the one of the old days especially hotel in Japan. This is really ridiculous and make myself disappointed. I'm so embarrassing. Good luck good luck

Booked a private onsen on a weekend. Though I like the privacy but it was too costly at 7000yen for an hr weekend rate. The room was nice but because we can only soak for 15 to 20mins the most, it was a waste and we went at dusk, so could not see Mt Fuji clearly too

Very cozy, nice place, beautiful view. You can relax after a long day trip at the second floor and chose your place whether at tatami floor etc. The hotspring is located at the second floor. For a day bath, it cost ¥1700. The toilet is very clean. There is a smoking room, Restaurant and massage area. There are 3 large area of hotspring. Sauna and a very cold water which you can splash on your body. "NO DOGS ALLOWED"

We came here as part of a 1day Klook tour to Hakone and this was by far the BEST part of the entire trip! This hot spring was beautiful, zen-like, relaxing, well appointed, had multiple pools and places to try in the public bath, it was awesome! We only had 2 hours here but we could have spent all day with the restaurant, snack bar and beautiful relaxation areas in the facility. Pictures of the place from website as cameras not allowed; but trust me it’s a great place. And if you have small tattoos and not many, they sell patches for a couple of bucks each that cover them. This is very considerate of the spa and appreciated. We absolutely loved our time here and would go again in a heartbeat, highly recommended!!!

Highly recommended! Great place to be. Great view on mt Fuji Private pool was great. Not sure about public pool tho. Price is not too expensive :) Suggested to book prior to ur trip. Hard to obtain a private pool

Very relaxing place. Facilities are top notch! There is a cozy and chill cafe at the 2nd floor.

I had a fantastic time participating in the Mt. Fuji scenic tour on horseback. My guide / the two instructors from the Netherlands and Australia were very professional and courteous. I enjoyed the riding lessons in the arena that followed the tour. I highly recommend Okamoto Riding Club for those who enjoy horseback riding. It was worth the journey to Gotemba from Tokyo. I would 100% repeat this experience again. Big thanks to the Okamoto Riding Club team!

English Speaking!!! I arrived to Gotemba Station, where Okamoto-san was picked me up. Beautiful well trained Dressage and Jumping style horses.

English speaking horse riding school. This is a great school with English speaking trainers. My daughter loves it and made great progress.

My 12 year old had an excellent riding lesson in a beautiful ring with a view of Mt. Fuji on lovely well trained horses. Pure joy! Mr. Okamoto's English is excellent, too.

very Good

Best place for beginners

Beautiful horses and scenery!

Great beer and food!!!

The food is fine - not bad and not great. Prices are reasonable. Food isn’t worth the 60+ minute wait in my opinion. Staff are friendly, and English accessible menus are available. The concept is cool, and the presentation is good. However, if you do want to go, the beer is cold and the food comes out piping hot.

Sawayaka Gotemba Interchange Branch: Long waits are the norm. The Genkotsu Hamburg is good—juicy, unique texture, and cooked at your table. The special onion sauce is a highlight. However, for some, the taste might not fully justify the hours of waiting. It's a popular local experience, but whether it's truly "wow" depends on your patience and expectations. Expect queues; consider going during off-peak hours.

I waited almost five hours to get in, but hey, the ticketing system's great—you get a Line notification when it's your turn. And the food? Totally lived up to the hype, worth every minute.

The Hamburg and soup is really delicious, The place is really busy. I had to wait for about 2 and half hours to get in. If you need to wait I recommend waiting in your car since there is difficulty having social distance. If you don’t have a car, I suggest you don’t go on a rainy or a very hot day. ***But the food is worth to wait for.🥰🥰🥰*** Very yummy food, good customer service, friendly staff, polite and the food is quick 😋😋😋 A good place to chit chat for family or friends whilst eating.

Went at 7pm on a Tuesday and waiting a little over an hour for my table for just myself. Got the grilled chicken which was really good. So glad I was was disappointed for such a long wait.

I will try to be short. It was the best hamburg steak I’ve ever had in Japan. Took a ticket and had to wait for 90 minutes despite the off-peak time around 4pm. But you can go away or do something else and return. Not expensive either. It is a shame there are only stores in Shizuoka prefecture.

The steak and dessert are really nice . Highly recommend

Chanced upon this eatery when I parked at East Zone carpark. Prices and portion are reasonable. Taste above average. Don't have to wait for long for food. Definitely a place you can rely on to have a quick lunch before continuing shopping.

Out of the options i had in my 3 days here, this one gives u the most flavor. If u have been craving some MSG taste like food, this one is a good one to go, they have a pretty decent palate on their dishes and takes. I'd love to come back again if given the chance of another visit.

Very decent food option if you’re at gotemba outlet! The noodles had a strong sesame fragrance and the fried rice was nice too! Service was quick and efficient!

Very tasty Chinese restaurant in a very busy outlet mall.

When I go to Gotemba outlet mall, I visit this restaurant usually. Sesame spicy noodle is good choice. There are three level of spicy grade, I usually have lowest spicy level but it is hot enough for me.

Came here for shopping at this premium outlet. This restaurant located near the corner of the outlet opposite a Japanese sushi restaurant. Ordered seafood soup noodle , spicy noodle with pork and sesame , pan fried dumplings.. noodles were great But the dumplings were rather too big .. I would prefer a smaller one with the filings of meat and chives ! Overall good with fast service in the lunch hours..

Fuss free large portions chinese cuisine. Sets are rather value for money but tons of carbs which includes a rice + noodle

We had to wait for about 45 minutes to have a table. I ordered a Weizen beer and my husband ordered a WeizenBock, both were delicious. We ordered a spare rib, the sausages, and fried potatoes. Nothing extraordinarily tasty but it was good enough. In my opinion, it's overpriced.

After 3 hours of waiting they gave us a table in an adjoining room with heavy and dark curtains with in nothing looks like the big room showed in the pictures. We were waiting because we wanted the brewery atmosphere but unfortunately it didn’t happen.

Didn’t eat here but think it should be good. Just wanted to get a drink. The nice waitress recommended the lunch drinks buffet which is so much more worth it @1099y. Place needs more ventilation. Smells of grilled and fried food.

Burnt, dry and extremely salty spareribs. Told them but they took no action. Very bad food. Don’t recommend at all.

Super Expensive We order the Pork ribs , one of them was good , the other one was salty and burned The food has nothing special, not terrible and not spectacular.. Service is so so

Winter ilumination until march. All you can eat and drink restaurant is great. Price is good.

Beer steak, rib steak, cozy place and live music!

Good raw fish Sashimi meal combo but not exceptional. The rice and soup portion are large but the fish portion is just normal. The price is okay, not inexpensive for its size. There are parking lots but they take no credit card.

Cute little sushi restaurant. Sadly expected more. Sashimi slices were really thin but large portion of rice and soup.

I ordered a rice bowl with sashimi. Sashimi is very delicious.I guess they know when to slice and deliver it very well.

Good sushi, good and friendly staff, quick. Large portions

Lovely people, nice atmosphere, great food

(Translated by Google) It was my first time there. I ordered curry without realizing it was a large portion. I was surprised at how much it was for 1,000 yen! There were also many other dishes I wanted to try. Apparently, the daily rice bowl can be made with vinegared rice for an additional 100 yen, so I think I'll have that next time. The recommended simmered golden eye fish that other customers were eating was also quite large. I'd like to go again. (Original) 初めて行きました。 大盛りと知らずに頼んだカレー 1000円でこの量は驚き！ 他にも食べてみたいのが沢山ありました。 日替わり丼がプラス100円で酢飯になるそうなので、次は酢飯が良いかなと思いました。 他のお客様が食べていたおすすめの金目の煮付けもかなりの大きさでした。また行きたいです。

(Translated by Google) It was my first time back in about 10 years. Even though it was a little after 1:00 PM on a weekday, the restaurant was full, but there was no line, so I decided to wait. Even when a seat became available, they didn't clear it away, so I ended up standing there for about 30 minutes. About 80% of the customers were ordering the yellowtail fry set meal, so I ordered it for 1,760 yen (I think that's about the price) and the daily seafood bowl for 1,650 yen. I was told that I could upgrade the daily seafood bowl to vinegared rice for an additional 100 yen, or to fish soup for an additional 200 yen. I was told there would be a wait, but it was served about 20 minutes after I ordered. The seafood bowl was packed with sashimi, making it a great value. The miso soup was amazing, especially. The seafood bowl in the photo may look small, but it's actually larger than usual, and the miso soup was served in a bowl almost the same size. I was worried I wouldn't be able to finish it all, but I drank it all. The sashimi was also delicious. The fried yellowtail was also plump and delicious. It also came with sashimi, so it felt like a great deal. Please note that payment is cash only. (Original) 10年ぶり位に利用しました。平日の13:00すぎでも店内は満席でしたが、並んではいなかったのでとりあえず待つことにしました。 席が空いてもなかなか片付けてもらえず、結局30分位立ったまま待ちました。 店内は鰤フライ定食を頼んでいる人が8割くらいいたので、鰤フライ定食1760円(確かこのくらいのお値段)と日替わり海鮮丼1650円を注文。 日替わり海鮮丼は＋100円で酢飯に、＋200円であら汁に変更できると言われました。 待つと言われましたが、注文してから20分くらいで提供されました。 海鮮丼は所狭しとお刺身が乗っておりお得感があります。何よりお味噌汁の大きさが凄いです。 写真の海鮮丼が小さく見えるかもしれませんが、むしろ普通より大きいくらいで、それとほぼ同じ大きさのお椀に味噌汁が入っています。飲み切れるか不安でしたが、全て飲み干しました。お刺身も美味しかったです。 また鰤フライもふっくらしていてとても美味しかったです。お刺身も付いてて、こちらもお得感いっぱいです。 なお、お会計は現金のみです。

I've been frequenting to this place for 16 years, but lately, I've noticed a decline in food quality since 2022. The buffet options seem limited with an excessive focus on carbs. While I understand prices may increase, removing classic items like rotisserie chicken from buffet is disappointing. And, the beer lines need cleaning—I was surprised to find my favorite Weizen Bock tasting off, almost like dried raisin soaked in herbal medicine or something. Moreover, some beer glasses weren't clean. I believe these issues need attention for the overall improvement of the restaurant. Visited on Nov 13 2023.

I came here by bus tour. Actually, there have nothing special. The taste of the meal is so so. Beer is too sweet for me. The wine like a grape juice.

The lunch and dinner menu and price is same which is nice because sometimes when a buffet changes both menus have good and bad. Reasonably priced if you are interested in the beers if not and just the food maybe slightly overpriced but all the food is pretty tasty. The kids enjoy going to the different stations for foods. The way to get food is not a smooth flowing line. Somewhat confusing where lines begin and end.

All you can eat and drink. Great quality food and house brewed beer

Lunch stop on Bus Tour. Very good choice of Food. Buffet style. Choice of beers.

Great buffet. Changes the food often. Good. Ovid measures too!

Very tasty food buffet with lots of options. This was one of my most expensive meals during the period of a few weeks in the area but it was worth it and reasonable for what I received.

Excellent food, very kind staff and lots of seating available. Had a ramen with soba noodles. Was very tasty and big portion, couldnt finish it.

Pretty much the best Japanese restaurant I have been in past 7 days. Very very tasty food and very nice service. Let aside the cute design and atmosphere!

I honestly don’t know why this place is rated 3.9 stars. It was perfect. The food is good -soba and udon were hand made. We ordered the sashimi and it was really fresh too! They had an english menu and the staff were so friendly. Will definitely return when I am back. Try the duck udon!!

Best Soba I ever eat . Very authentic soba and nice environment. Noodles very chewy . Highly recommended to everyone

Able to enjoy tasting two colors(back and white) of delicious Soba (made from buckwheat flour) noodle near Gotemba highway entrance or outlet shopping mall. The picture shows cold black Soba. The taste is perfect and real tasty Soba.

Really good place for soba noodles 😀 when visiting Gotenba. Situated close to the interchange in a grand rustique Japanese-style builing. Attentive and helpful staff, great teuchi sobanoodles (possible to watch the teuchi during daytime) and fluffy tempura. I had the tenzaru (cold dipping soba noodles, dark type with season's vegetables and giant shrimp) - absolutely delicious ! We will be back next year !

Great place to eat, stopped off randomly and it was amazing!

I think the 4.2/5 stars across almost 2000 reviews really speaks for itself! Super efficient, super delicious! First of all, the sushi is bigger than what you usually get! They serve you very generous portions! The fish was probably one of the freshest I’ve ever tasted. Considering how big the pieces of sushi were, and considering the freshness of the seafood, I personally think this restaurant was super price for value! I also tried the crab miso soup and needless to say, it was fantastic as well! I was so impressed an entire crab inside (the crab meat was very fresh too), and the soup itself was tasty! I would definitely come back! Numazu Uogashi Sushi has my highest possible recommendation! A great restaurant to visit if you’re visiting the fantastic zoo nearby! I think we were lucky that we didn’t need to line up!

Some of the best sushi I have ever had. Quick service and very fresh, generous pieces of fish. The fish tempura is the best I have ever eaten in my life. My favourite piece was the semi fat tuna nigiri. Highly recommend this place. Also loved the bonito soy sauce.

Fresh, clean-tasting sushi with perfectly seasoned rice. Every piece was delicious, and the staff were warm and welcoming to foreigners

Soooo delicious! We enrouted quite a bit from Gotemba outlet but totally worth it! Highly recommend, so fresh, tasty, and reasonable price!

Interesting vibes but no English menu. The food is decent and prices are quite ok. What you might like is that it’s really secluded and heartlandy for Japanese. You will hardly find any tourists. This place was recommended to us by a Japanese.

I must need to write a comment for them. The food was out of my expectation! Very tasty and the portion is large (thick sashimi!)

Lunch set 1,580円 Very good sushi

Very tasty 😋& cheap! The stuff is incredibly friendly❤️ I love this place :)

😋😋😋👍

Yummy

(Translated by Google) This is a wonderful store where the friendly staff members lead to great service! ! I love katsudon, so I often go to various Katsuya restaurants, but this one by far has the best friendliness among the staff! It seems like the staff members are all good friends and chatting with each other, but in reality, this has a positive effect on them, and they work very well together, from eye-catching to follow-up instructions, making it a store that I'm really looking forward to visiting as a customer. When I was paying, I couldn't help but talk to the cashier about how close we all were (lol) I will be visiting you again, so please show me your bright smiles and customer service again♪ Thank you for always providing delicious food and a happy atmosphere! ! (Original) この店はスタッフさん同士の仲の良さがサービスに繋がってる、ステキな店舗！！ カツ丼大好きなのでよくいろんな場所のかつやを利用させてもらってますが、その中でもここの店舗はスタッフさん同士の仲のよさがダントツです！ 仲良しでスタッフ同士がおしゃべりしてるようなのですが、実はそれがいい方に作用して目配せからのフォロー指示などすごく連携がとれていて、客として訪問するのがとても楽しみな店舗です。 お会計の時に思わずレジのお姉さんに皆さんの仲の良さについて話しかけちゃいました（笑） また寄らせてもらうので、ぜひ皆さんの明るい笑顔と接客をまた見せてくださいね♪ いつも美味しいご飯と嬉しい空間をありがとうございます！！

(Translated by Google) Katsuya is located at the intersection of National Route 138 and Route 246 in Gotemba City. From May 22nd to 25th, 4 dishes will be 200 yen off to celebrate the 500th store opening❣️I happened to go on the first day, and changed to a pork cutlet set meal with a large pork soup, which was about 700 yen. I felt it was a good deal👍Only 4 dishes are offered: Katsudon Take, Katsu Curry Take, Pork Cutlet Set Meal, and Grated Daikon Cutlet Set Meal, and there are no other menu items. There are only a few side dishes, so if you want to eat something else, be careful. I think there is parking for about 15 cars. (Original) 御殿場市、国道138号と246号が交わる交差点のかつやです。5月22日から25日は、500店舗開店記念で、4品が200円オフです❣️たまたま初日に行き、ロースカツ定食に豚汁大に変更、700円程です。お得🉐に感じました👍カツ丼竹、カツカレー竹、ロースカツ定食、おろしカツ定食、以上の4品のみの提供となり、他のメニューは有りません。サイドメニューが少しだけなので、他が食べたい方は注意です。駐車場は15台ほどだと思います。

(Translated by Google) It's located on a corner lot along the highway heading from Gotemba IC towards Subashiri and Lake Yamanaka. Parking is accessible from two sides, and there is counter and table seating. Ordering is done via tablet. The two kitchen staff and three dining staff work well together, and are busy handling takeout orders at the same time. The katsu curry comes with a small amount of rice, and the freshly fried katsu and cabbage are well balanced. It's been a while since I've been to Katsuya, and the food and service are consistent. (Original) 御殿場ICから須走、山中湖方面へ向かう街道沿い角地にあります。 駐車場も2面から侵入可能、 カウンターとテーブル席があります。 オーダーはタブレット式。 厨房2名とホール3名の方々、 しっかり連携取れていて、 テイクアウトのオーダーも並行して忙しなく捌かれております。 カツカレーご飯少な目、 揚げたてカツとキャベツが良いバランス。 久しぶりのかつや、安定の味とサービスです。

(Translated by Google) I stop by here whenever I'm passing by. I usually order the Katsudon Take because it's consistently delicious, but this time I tried the Grated Daikon Pork Cutlet Set Meal. The grated daikon radish gave it a refreshing taste, and it was easy to eat and very delicious. It's nice to try something other than Katsudon every once in a while. (Original) 近くを通った時に立ち寄らせて頂いております。 安定の美味しさでいつもはカツ丼竹をオーダーしておりますが、今回はおろしトンカツ定食を食べてみました。 大根おろしでさっぱりしていて食べ易くとても美味しかったです。 たまには、カツ丼以外を食べみるのもいいですね

Located around Gotemba town, if you plan to drive to/from Fuji's Yamanaka lake, it's on your way to. Good food, buffet drinks , plenty of parking space. Recommended here only if you drive the car, not suitable for bus traveling.

The staff here are amazing, so friendly, such hard workers and made us feel very special on our Saturday night out! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others and congratulate all the staff for all their efforts.

Not much like the Denny's in the US. Most dishes have a Japanese flair on them, and portions are also Japanese sized. The drink bar is okay, with coffee, tea, and soda available. Prices are reasonable, so this place makes a good stop for a quick bite.

We had lunch here on the way back to Mount Fuji. Very nice and cozy family friendly place with great food

We recently visited the Gotemba area to ski mt. Fugi and ended up at this Denny’s for breakfast every morning. It cost our family of 4 $25-To eat breakfast there every morning!! The absolute best French toast the kids gobbled up and we were happy to get our eggs on plus a coffee bar. Highly recommend!

Surprising menu..has local Japanese fare not the US Denny skillet stuff... Good for family's... Order the pancakes for kids.. comes with free kids gift.

Good, stable taste, reasonable price. Hall staff hospitarity is good. taste 3 facility atmosphere 3 service 4 others

I chose the vegetarian burger which consists of mushroom patty. It's nice but a little salty. I think it's because the batter is used to cover the mushroom. And because it is such a cold day, I opt for hot drinks but unfortunately, there is only hot coffee and no hot tea. Oh well, at least the place is nice and the staff are friendly. Good job!

Smoke shack Burger is so good. the shake was a bit thick. Fries are incredible.

Very convenient place to eat inside Gotemba premium outlet. There's a self service counter as well which makes it easier to place orders. There's enough space for diners. I had their avocado chicken burger and it's messy good!!!

Not a fan of burgers but I had to go in this restaurant because it was sooo cold and I wasn’t interested in shopping here. Thus, I waited for my companions inside this warm place. I ordered hot drip coffee which was surprisingly good! It was served black and piping hot (just the way I like it). Milk and syrup sugar were available at the sides. The coffee was smelled and tasted strong(again, just as I like my coffee). This SS branch is spacious with kind, courteous service crew. There’s a self order kiosk or a counter for ordering-your choice. Maybe next time I will try their burgers.

When I took a bite of the ShackBurger, I immediately noticed the crispy edges and nice char. The Angus chicken was also tender and tasty. The toppings gave the patty some additional moisture, and the soft potato bun held everything together nicely. I liked that the bun was sturdy and had a delicate sweetness to it. I would definitely order this burger again.

It's just a let down that they close at the same time as the outlet park. I just hope they close a little later so that we would not have to rush to eat our meals.Still giving Shake Shack a 4 since the food and service are good.

GREAT food, perfect presentation, clean, nice vibes, self ordering on the kiosk machine in your designated language. Really great dining experience.

Flight was excellent, airport is massive but the process of getting off, going through customs and grabbing our luggage was phenomenal! So well organized. Be prepared to go through miles of transit to get places with very fast, paced people moving in a quick manner. Loved flying over the city before landing. Just amazing.

Haneda Airport is truly one of the best airports in the world. From the moment you arrive, everything feels seamless—clean, efficient, and well-organized. The signage is clear, making it easy to navigate even for first-time visitors, and security and immigration move quickly compared to many major airports. The terminals are modern, bright, and filled with a wide range of dining and shopping options, from authentic Japanese restaurants to luxury boutiques. The staff are courteous and attentive, always ready to help with a smile. Amenities like spotless restrooms, clean showers, and comfortable seating areas make layovers far more enjoyable. Transportation to and from the city is also incredibly convenient. Haneda combines Japanese hospitality with world-class efficiency, making travel smooth and stress-free.

Haneda Airport is busy at all times — even at 7:00 AM, it’s filled with students and tourists. The place is lively, energetic, and huge, with plenty of restaurants to choose from. You definitely won’t go hungry here! ✈️🍱☕️

Haneda Airport is one of the cleanest airports I’ve seen right next to Changi in Singapore. Very organized and well-maintained, you can do lots of things there with plan spotting at the observation deck. The Terminal 3 is very easy to navigate. Can’t wait to see Japan again in the future!

Upstairs, there’s a Don Quijote. You don’t need to worry about buying souvenirs elsewhere because this airport has everything! I even forgot to bring my child’s milk bottle, and luckily I found one there. The price was the same as outside The halal food is delicious and the portions are big!

Very efficient, don't have to walk as much to get to your departure gate, there are outlets for almost every seat at each gate if you want to charge your phone or PC, there is a hot water fountain if you have your own tea bags. On top of that, the airport is like a combination of Little Tokyo and a museum.

Huge Airport and do much stores, restaurants, shopping, sky, ...so love the place. If your stuck or in a budget there are relaxing places to nap at. I could not get tired of this place.
