When to go
The best time to visit Gotemba
Gotemba has no month that is both mild and dry by the measure used here. August is the warmest month, with average highs of 29 °C; September is the wettest, with about 243 mm of rain.
Comfortable means average daytime high between 18 °C and 29 °C and under 80 mm of rain in the month. Averages for 1991–2020 over the surrounding area, a grid square about 50 km across, so a coast or a nearby mountain can make the town itself warmer or cooler.

Getting there
Getting to Gotemba: airports and arrival
The nearest airport with scheduled flights is Oshima Airport (OIM), about 70 km from the city centre in a straight line; Tokyo Haneda International Airport (HND, 82 km) and Mount Fuji Shizuoka Airport (FSZ, 89 km) are also within reach.
Getting in
There are direct buses to Gotemba Station from Haneda Airport operated by Odakyu Hakone Highway Bus and Keikyu Bus every 2 hours during the day (2 hr, ¥2060). Service between Narita Airport and Gotemba is very limited. There are only two return services per day to the Gotemba stop on the Tomei Expressway (3 hr, ¥4100). It might be best to travel from Narita to Tokyo, then head to Gotemba from there by train or by bus. Gotemba Station is located on the JR Gotemba Line, which branches inland from the Tokaido Main Line at Numazu at the western end and Kōzu at the eastern end.
Getting around
Free shuttle buses operate every 15 minutes during the day between Gotemba Station, Tomei Gotemba Interchange bus stop and the Premium Outlets. The buses run during the operating hours of the Premium Outlets. If you want to climb Mount Fuji from the Gotemba side, there are buses from Gotemba Station to the Gotemba 5th Station. Buses take 40 min and cost ¥1110 one way or ¥1540 round-trip. Otherwise, walking is a good way to experience Gotemba's quaintness, as well as find random views of Mount Fuji.

Eating, drinking and staying safe in Gotemba
Eat
"Little America" exists on 246, with a McDonald's, Baskin Robbins, KFC, and Denny's all in a row. Local family restaurants include Jonathan's, Big Boy, Coco's, and Yoshino. Chain and local izakaya (food and drink bars) can be found around the station.
Drink
Gotenba is lacking in genuine bars but has a few chain izakayas. Hibiki serves as a restaurant but very occasionally pulls out the stops for a good club event, with local and Tokyo DJs playing good electronic dance music and a crowd coming from neighboring towns.
