The Gotemba-Fuji-Fujinomiya area stretches at the foot of Mt. Fuji, which was recognized as a World Heritage Site in 2013.

For adult travelers, a must stop is the Gotemba Kogen Beer. This refers to the store in Tokinosu, a major leisure park. The black beer, a locally brewed beer only available here, is a unique, rich, sweet gem.

After enjoying the illumination and leisure activities at Tokinosu, families and couples traveling together may want to visit the Gotemba Premium Outlets.

You can find brand-name products that are normally out of reach, but at very low prices at the outlet. It is not easy to visit these outlets, so if you get the chance, it is a good idea to do so.

If you return to the city center from the safari park, you should definitely try Fujinomiya yakisoba, which has won the Class B Gourmet Grand Prix at that time.

If you want to enjoy hiking, why not walk around the Asagiri Plateau, which stretches at the western foot of Mt. Even in summer, there are many places of interest, such as stalactite caves where the temperature is below freezing, Shiraito Falls, and Aokigahara Sea of Trees.

Also, dairy farming is thriving in the area, and some places offer hands-on experiences such as milking milk and making butter.

This area can be fully enjoyed, especially if you visit during the long summer vacation, with outdoor activities such as camping and leisure activities at Tokinosu as the main focus of your visit.
