点评:I’ve been to different outlets out there from different countries and parts of the world but there is one outlet in particular that steals my hearts and minds and its my ultimate favourite outlet of all time anywhere in the world, located in Gotemba in Japan’s Shizuoka prefecture - The Gotemba Premium Outlets!!! With more than 200 stores and direct access to Tokyo in many modes of transport - the one that made people really excited to visit Gotemba is its location - it is situated on an extensive site within view of World Cultural Heritage site, Mt. Fuji, the most beautiful mountain in the world!!!! If you ask me where is the best spot to view Mt. Fuji - Gotemba Premium Outlets is the place to be!!!!
We took the bus from Tokyo station Yaesu south exit to Gotemba outlet directly and costs around 38K Yen for round trip and an hour and a half per trip depending on the traffic. You could purchase ticket directly on the station or online and this is the most convenient way of travelling from Tokyo to Gotemba if you have nowhere else to go except here. The other ways you could join a Group tour with a stop here, hire a private service or via local trains which takes quite some stops. The first bus leaves at 8 in the morning from Tokyo and the last bus at 8 in the evening from Gotemba. It also stops in Shinjuku and as we near the outlet we could already Mt. Fuji at the right side of the bus on a clear day. Tip - Mt. Fuji and its stunning snow capped peak is mostly visible during Winter. The parking lot gives you another iconic presence of the majestic mountain behind you and this is also one of the best stops to take your lovely photos and videos. This is the first zone and stores are already here like Coach and many more including the food court. To cross the inward zone, you need to pass on the wooden suspension bridge and this is the most amazing and tranquil walk we’ve ever been on an outlet - we could see the Majestic mountain getting closer and closer and it greets us across the horizon - another perfect spot to take your lovely photos and videos!!!
Gotemba is divided into 3 zones: West/East and Hillside. Hillside is the inward zone and in between the East and West zones. There are plenty of food and cafe options in Gotemba including famous Western and Japanese brands but if you’re looking for authentic Japanese food then look no further - Gotemba Food outlet located in the West zone just before the wooden bridge. Here we have tried Udon, Hamburg steak, Takoyaki, Karage, Ramen, Curry, Soft served ice cream and other international cuisines like Chinese food and just like other Japanese eateries water is free of service. Just outside the food outlet, you behold and ho you will cross paths with that iconic bridge and the majestic ethereal beauty of Mt. Fuji.
While you on the inward zone going East, there are many benches, parks and snacks/drinks along the way together with hundred of brands delighting your walk along the way including famous brands of Nike/Adidas/NB/Gucci/CK/North Face/Onitsuka Tiger and much more stores selling clothes, shoes, perfume, accessories, high end brands, jewelry, watches, sports apparels and bags to name a few. There are elevators and escalators going to the upper floors and lots of clean toilets which is expected as always in Japan which is a big plus!!!
As we near the Hillside, there is a long escalator going up and ho and behold you will see a wooden platform with an impeccable and stunning view of the Majestic Mt. Fuji!! This is another perfect spot to take your lovely and memorable photos and videos with the famous snow capped mountain in your background. Its also a good place to have some food or drinks or coffee/tea/snacks while marvelling and relaxing at its glorious beauty!! As you move further East, you would see a small but charming amusement park with Carousel and Mt. Fuji on the backdrop - what a magical and wonderful sight and place to relax and sit down after shopping and walking. In this side, there are also cafes and snacks to choose from but there is no Food hall as compared to the West side.
So there you go, Gotemba Premium outlet is the best outlet and place to be if you want to experience good deals, famous shops and a stunning view of Mt. Fuji at the same time. There are 3 spots to take the best photos and videos of Mt. Fuji - Bus stop/parking, Wooden bridge and Hillside zone!!! Keep up the world class facilities and exceptional services provided Gotemba Premium Outlet looking forward to visit you again and experience the best of both worlds!!!! Arigato Gozaimasu!!! Matah neh!!!! :=)
翻译:我去过世界各地不同国家的众多奥特莱斯,但有一个特别能俘获我心的地方,它是我在全世界范围内最钟爱的奥特莱斯——那就是位于日本静冈县御殿场的御殿场名品奥特莱斯!!!这里拥有200多家商店,还有多种交通方式可直达东京——而真正让人们心生向往、想要造访御殿场的原因便是其绝佳的地理位置:它坐落在一片广阔的区域内,视野中便是世界文化遗产——世界上最美的山峰,富士山!!!如果问我观赏富士山的最佳地点在哪里,那绝对就是御殿场名品奥特莱斯啦!!!!我们从东京站八重洲南出口乘坐巴士直达御殿场奥特莱斯。往返票价约为38,000日元,每次行程耗时约1个半小时,具体时间取决于交通状况。您既可以在车站现场购票,也可以在线购买。如果您除了御殿场之外别无他往,那么这种方式便是从东京前往御殿场最便捷的途径。其他出行方式包括参加途经此地的旅游团、聘请私人专车服务,或者乘坐需要停靠多个站点的当地列车。首班巴士于早上8点从东京出发,末班巴士则于晚上8点从御殿场出发。巴士还会在新宿停靠。天气晴朗时,快到奥特莱斯附近时就能在巴士右侧看到富士山。小贴士:冬季是观赏富士山及其美丽雪顶的最佳时节。停车场背后就是雄伟的富士山,这也是拍摄美丽照片和视频的绝佳地点。这是第一区,里面已经有了Coach等众多品牌店铺,还有美食广场。要进入内部区域,需要走过那座木制悬索桥——这是我们逛过的所有奥特莱斯中最为惊艳且宁静的步行路线了:我们可以看到雄伟的山峰越来越近,它矗立在地平线上迎接我们。这里绝对是拍摄美丽照片和视频的绝佳地点!!
御殿场奥特莱斯共分为三个区域:西区、东区和山坡区。Hillside区域位于内侧,处在东区和西区之间。御殿场有众多餐饮和咖啡馆可供选择,其中不乏知名的西式及日式品牌;不过若想品尝地道的日本料理,那就非这里莫属了——位于西区、木桥之前的御殿场食品专卖店。我们在这里品尝了乌冬面、汉堡牛排、章鱼烧、炸鸡块以及拉面和咖喱。软质冰淇淋以及其他各国料理,比如中餐,都供应齐全;和其他日本餐馆一样,这里也免费提供饮用水。就在餐饮店外面,您就能看到那座标志性的桥梁,还能领略到富士山那庄严而梦幻般的绝美风采。
当您向东行进进入内侧区域时,那里还有许多长椅。沿途有公园以及零食和饮料售卖点,还有数百个品牌为您的漫步之旅增添乐趣——包括耐克、阿迪达斯、新百伦、古驰、CK、北面、鬼冢虎等知名品牌。此外还有众多商店售卖服装、鞋类、香水、配饰、高端品牌商品、珠宝、手表以及运动服饰和包袋等。大楼内设有通往各楼层的电梯和自动扶梯,还有大量干净整洁的洗手间——这在日本是理所当然的标配,绝对是个大优点!!
当我们接近山坡地带时……有一段很长的自动扶梯向上延伸,沿着它走上去后,你会看到一个木质平台,从那里可以欣赏到壮丽的富士山,景色简直无可挑剔且令人陶醉!!这里绝对是拍摄照片和视频的绝佳地点,著名的雪山作为背景定能留下难忘的回忆。在这里,你还可以一边尽情欣赏这绝美的景色、放松身心,一边享用美食、饮料、咖啡、茶或零食哦!!继续向东前行,你会看到一个虽小却充满魅力的游乐园,里面有旋转木马,背景则是壮丽的富士山——真是梦幻又美妙的景象啊!逛街走累后,这里是放松休息的绝佳去处。这一侧还有多家咖啡馆和小吃店可供选择,不过与西侧相比则没有美食广场。
总之,如果你既想享受实惠的价格、光顾知名品牌店,又能欣赏到绝美的富士山景,那么御殿场名品奥特莱斯绝对是最佳之选。拍摄富士山的最佳地点共有3处——公交站/停车场、木制桥以及山坡地带!!!御殿场名品奥特莱斯,感谢您一直维持世界级的设施与卓越的服务。我们期待再次光临,体验这里的双重魅力!!!! 非常感谢!!!后会有期!!!! :=)
