Then follow our example and find a beautiful hotel nearby to chill! 😌 This time we stayed at Hotel Clad, I sincerely recommend it to everyone! 👍 Invincible view of Mount Fuji! 🗻✨ I noticed Hotel Clad when I went to Gotemba Outlet before. I heard that many friends praised it, and I was even more depressed when I read the information on the Internet!

The room is comfortable and relaxing😌 The lighting and sense of space in the room is really great! It's so beautiful that you'll wow! 😍 Upon entering the room, the whole family couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow, it’s so beautiful!” Even though they couldn’t see Mount Fuji that day, the lighting and comfortable space in the room were endearing. The large window view in the room is unbeatable. The view outside the window is like a painting! 🖼️ After staying at Hotel Clad for two days and one night, I spent most of my time sitting by the large window of my room admiring the scenery and it was breathtaking! Convenient transportation😋 The hotel has an elevator directly to Premium Outlets, which is about 1-2 minutes away. However, note that the elevator is open from approximately 8am to 8pm. After putting down our luggage, we went to the coffee shop of "木の花の汤" to relax. At Hotel Clad, you don’t need to bring a wallet, whether in a coffee shop or a restaurant, you can pay with your room card and check out at the end to pay the bill at once. Hot spring enjoyment🌟 Guests can use the hotel’s own source hot spring, Kino no Hana no Yu, and can take a bath directly through the aisle while wearing a bathrobe. The soaking in the hot spring for guests is quite long, from 6 am to 11 pm. Although the hotel does not have a private bath or private hot spring, you can book a cut bath for 3000-5000 yen to rent an hour, if you want to enjoy private space and hot spring with family, plus the beautiful view of Mount Fuji, is a good of choice! Room rate tips💰 We booked a double room for 30,000 yen a night, plus 2,000 yen to upgrade to a Mount Fuji view room 🗻, it was a bargain! 🤩 If the weather is nice when you go, don't save this 2000 yen! Because it is really worth the price of admission! 💯 As soon as I woke up, I saw such a magnificent Mount Fuji. It was so shocking that I couldn't speak! 🥹 The hotel design is simple and comfortable, all the daily necessities are very complete, do not worry at all! 🧴 The best part is its large bath, the open-air bath is really great! Soaking in the hot spring and watching the stars is one of life's great pleasures! 🌟 Thoughtful tips💖 It is recommended to set an alarm clock ⏰ and get up early to watch the sunrise 🌅! Mount Fuji in the early morning is so beautiful! 🌄 Guaranteed you will never forget! 💖 #Sishinyansighs the world #Sissien #chillmybabe #TokyoDrivingTour #SissienRecommendations #SissienHotelRecommendations #HotelClad #Gotemba #Outlet #Fuji #Hotel #Onsen #Japan #Travel #Photo #Sunrise #Gotemba #MountFuji #Hotel #Onsen #Japan #Travel

#FuriTabi #Shizuoka #Gotemba #GotembaOutlet #Mt.Fuji #ViewofMt.Fuji #Shopping 📍1312 Fukazawa, Gotemba City, Shizuoka Prefecture 10 minutes by car from Gotemba IC 10 minutes by car from Ashigara SIC Buses and trains are also available from all directions 🕰️10:00-20:00 Closed: Once a year (February) A shopping resort with a variety of domestic and international brand stores🛒About 290 stores, including fashion, sports goods, and restaurants, are gathered on a vast site with a view of Mt.Fuji. On my first visit, I took a whole day to explore the area at my own pace 🚶 It's a fun and enjoyable space for ordinary people, with luxury brand items that you wouldn't normally buy being sold at affordable prices ✨ People who feel that one day isn't enough can stay at a nearby hotel 🏨 I went by car from Tokyo, but it seems easy to get to, so it might be a good idea to combine it with sightseeing in Hakone, Mt. Fuji, etc. 🗻 It's expected to be crowded on weekends, so I recommend arriving early.

Gotemba Premium Outlets is 5 minutes away from Hotel Clad, which is definitely a recommended accommodation option! The view of Mount Fuji here is amazing, making you feel like you are in a fairyland. The hotel is in an excellent location, with easy access to the surrounding shopping outlets in just a few minutes. It has convenient transportation, a large parking lot for self-driving tours, and a shuttle bus to Gotemba JR Station/Tokyo Shinjuku. First of all, the rooms are comfortable, spacious and fully equipped, making you feel at home. The extra-large glass windows of the room are facing Mount Fuji, and the view is super good when you wake up in the morning! The service staff can communicate in English, are warm and friendly, and provide thoughtful service, making our accommodation experience more perfect. Every moment spent here is unforgettable, and it is definitely a fascinating tourist checkpoint. If you are tired from walking around the outlet, you can go back to the hotel to rest. The hotel's hot spring bath is very comfortable and can relieve fatigue and keep fit after a whole day of walking. The restaurant closes at 8 o'clock, so remember to arrange dinner early. Highly recommend this hotel~

#tokyotrip Ladurée is a wonderful cafe we visited at Gotemba Premium Outlets Tokyo. Originally from Paris, this highly popular cafe re-creates the atmosphere of the Paris main store, reminiscent of a ladies' ballroom, and offers authentic French dishes created using local French recipes. Their special menu includes macarons and patisseries as well! Everything was delicious! We will be back! Our rating of the cafe: 4 ⭐️ out of 5!

Come early to avoid the crowds! It opens at 10am and closes at 8pm. There’s plenty to see, shop and eat here! And it is also kids-friendly as there’s kid’s activities such as carousel and mini train tracks that kids can ride on. There’s a great view of Mt. Fuji as well near the link bridge and a platform for you to take photo. There’s even a bus tour if you’re not driving. Come and visit! 📍 Gotemba Premium Outlets 1312 Fukasawa, Gotemba, Shizuoka 412-0023, Japan #wecreate #placestogoinjapan #explorejapan #premiumoutlet #gotemba #tripblazers #summervacation

There’s wifi here too! 📍 TIGREBLANC(ティーグルブラン) 1500-15 Higashitanaka, Gotemba, Shizuoka 412-0026, Japan #wecreate #explorejapan #exploregotemba #whattodoingotemba #gotemba #foodie #foodiejp #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #bestpancakes

Booked an hour private room outdoor onsen in Hotel Clad. Cost is 70k Yen per hour. Have to make reservations as the private onsens rooms are limited. You dont have to be hotel guests to use the onsen. The room is spacious and clean. There is a dining area in the room, so you can order food to have it there after the hot bath. Went at night, is so dark that I can't see any view. Hope to go back again and dip in the onsen during the daytime! Is a good way to relax after a whole day of shopping. #shopandtrip #mytripvlog #tripblazers

#shopandtrip Gotemba Premium Outlet is an outlet mall located in Gotemba, Shizuoka, Japan near Mount Fuji. There are 290 stores to shop around. You can visit the information center to scan the QR to download some disocunt coupons for tourists. There are quite a number of restaurants around there. Don't have to worry if you feel hungry after shopping. The prices are affordable too! Kids won't get bored too, as there are rides for them to play. The scenery is nice too, able to have a good view of Mount Fuji! Worth to check it out!

Smooth check in and the staff were helpful and friendly. The room is spacious and clean. The public bath available to use for free for hotel guests. If you like to have a good view of Mount Fuji and going to premium outlet for shopping, this hotel is a ideal choice. Bus stop is just outside the hotel for those going back to Shinjuku. The downside is check out time is 10am. Otherwise all is good. #mytripvlog #hakone

Toraya Kobo in Shizuoka 😋♡ The shop is near Gotemba Outlet If you walk through the bamboo forest, you will find Toraya Kobo. There are people of all ages, and it is quiet and calm You can take a leisurely rest and eat dorayaki and buns! There are plenty of seats so I felt at ease, but I had to wait about 10 minutes for the cash register It was very delicious, so please go and check it out 💯💯 #Toraya #TorayaKobo #Shizuoka

We started driving from Ueno at about 9:15 and drove for more than an hour and a half. We got on the Tokyo Expressway and drove along the metropolitan area towards Yokohama. Along the way, we could see the beautiful Mount Fuji in the distance. We finally arrived at the Gotemba Premium Outlet before 11 o'clock. It turns out that you can park for free here without making any purchases. I saw a netizen introducing a very famous Shizuoka charcoal grilled hamburger steak restaurant in this outlet online, so I rushed over to get a ticket after parking my car. However, the ticket said I had to wait for five hours. This might be because there were already many people queuing when the restaurant opened at 10:00. I had no choice but to wait while walking on the street. I could scan the QR code to check how long I would have to wait. There are a wide variety of outlet store types and brands, my personal favorites include: Celine, Burberry, Gucci, Gap, Franc Franc, Polo, Coach, Adidas and Plaza, etc. Finally, we were able to sit down in the restaurant around 16:40. We waited for more than five hours. Everyone is looking forward to it. Why do so many people choose this restaurant to wait? The food tastes good, but it's not worth waiting 5 hours to eat. It may be because Japanese people like the iron plate like the one in Hong Kong Garden Restaurant, and then the waiter comes to pour sauce and asks customers to cover it with paper towels to avoid being stained by the sauce. This way of eating is very novel and attracts people. In conclusion, this outlet is really worth a day of shopping. You can't finish shopping from dawn to dusk. As for the restaurant, I wanted to try the charcoal-grilled hamburger steak. Fortunately, I can shop in the outlet while waiting for the food, so I didn't lose money. ##Tokyo Free Travel ##Gotemba

This time we will be introducing "Toraya Kobo" in Gotemba City, Shizuoka Prefecture. Not only are the sweets delicious, but the atmosphere of the building and garden is also amazing! After passing through the bamboo forest, you will come across the workshop where you can actually see the sweets being made. You can enjoy the sweets you purchase on the open terrace surrounded by greenery. If you go to Gotemba, be sure to stop by♪ *It is a popular spot, so it is often crowded. #ShizuokaTourism #Shizuoka #Gotemba #GotembaTourism

This time, I will introduce "Sakura Park" in Gotemba City, Shizuoka Prefecture. I enjoyed the snowy scenery and Mt. Fuji from Gotemba City. Sakura Park is on the right hand side if you go straight from Gotemba Station on Prefectural Route 23 heading west towards Mt. Fuji. There are parking lots, management buildings, public toilets, and plenty of playground equipment, so many families come to play. From the ground, the power lines get in the way of seeing Mt. Fuji, but from the observation deck (?) in the shape of Mt. Fuji, you can see a spectacular view all the way to the base. I also recommend Prefectural Route 23 on the way, where you can enjoy watching Mt. Fuji getting bigger and bigger♪ #Snowy scenery #Mt. Fuji #I love Mt. Fuji #Scenery with a view of Mt. Fuji #Shizuoka #Shizuoka sightseeing #Shizuoka trip #Gotemba #Gotemba city #Gotemba sightseeing

Come to the Goden-den outlet in Shizuoka Prefecture. The place is very large and spacious. In addition to the east and west wings, there is also a mountain wing. There are different brands of fashion in the park, including brand-name clothing, handbags, sports goods, and home products. A whole day is not enough time to go shopping. Finally, I was able to unexpectedly capture the beautiful Mount Fuji. I heard that this is the other side of Mount Fuji. It is really a gift of gratitude. I never get tired of looking at Mount Fuji.

From Tokyo, take the 90 minute bus to the Outlet! I can feel the cold wind flowing into the carriage before I get out of the car! The floor was wet as soon as I got off the car, as if it had just rained. After walking for a while, the snow has started to fall, and it's getting bigger and bigger! Let's go into the shop and buy something now! After shopping, the sun suddenly shines brightly, so warm! Shopping After shopping, the weather is completely unpredictable☺️ ## Good places to visit in Tokyo ##shopping ## Gotemba

#spamagic The Private Onsen at Hotel Clad is an amazing experience. I was able to select which room I wanted and booked the room for an hour. The room was for 2 persons and had a nice sitting area tatami-style, and the private Onsen was outdoors complete with a shower area next to it. The room was relatively new, clean and cozy. Highly recommend reservations as on a clear day, one might be even able to catch unblocked views of Mt Fuji! I will be back! 🙌🏻

#staycation During my one night staycation at Hotel Clad, I discovered and tried some of these following food options in the area at Gotemba: - Sushi - Crepes - Shake Shack - Food hall (for rice bowl options etc) They are all within walking distance at Gotemba Premium outlets and are worth a try if you are having a staycation at Hotel Clad. I will be back 🙌🏻

#staycation Booked a 1N staycation at Hotel Clad in Gotemba Tokyo and it did not disappoint. Hotel is clean, modern, minimalist and yet with a touch of luxury. It also has an Onsen spa in the same building. On a clear day, one can even catch the complete view of Mt Fuji from certain Mt Fuji view rooms. Best of all, it is right next to Gotemba premium outlets so we could shop during our staycation! Looking forward to be back!

I had Okonomiyaki last time and it was delicious. This time when I went to Hiroshima, of course I had to try Hiroshima yaki. For my first meal in Hiroshima, I decided to go straight to Nagataya Hiroshima Okaki. I didn't expect that there were already people lining up before the store opened, which shows that it is really popular. Nagataya Hiroshima Okiyaki is located near the Peace Memorial Park, just walk under the Motoan Bridge The surrounding Hiroshima attractions include the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, the Atomic Bomb Dome, and the Memorial Monument. This is an area that many people will definitely visit when they come to Hiroshima for tourism. You can take the Hiroshima tram to Atomic Bomb Dome-mae Station, Kamiyacho-nishi Station, or Hondori Station, and walk about 3 minutes to the destination. Watching the chefs skillfully prepare various flavors of Hiroshima grilled food, coupled with the aroma of teppanyaki, is a visual, olfactory, and auditory cooking performance. There is no Chinese menu, but there is an English menu, and it is not difficult to order food with pictures. The signature dish is Nagataya yaki. If you don’t have any particular preferences when visiting for the first time, it is recommended to order this directly. It is also the most ordered item in the store. This is the first Hiroshima yaki restaurant I ate in Hiroshima. At the beginning, I had not yet mastered the skills of eating Hiroshima yaki. I think the combination of ingredients is very important for making Hiroshima okonomiyaki delicious. There should be a variety of ingredients to make it taste rich. So if you want any toppings, don’t hesitate about the price, just add whatever you want, trust me, it tastes good this way Basic Hiroshima Oyaki – 750 yen Since I don’t like eating onions and it was my first time eating Hiroshima Oyaki in Hiroshima, I decided to order Normal. For the main course, you can choose noodles or udon. Almost 95% of the customers in the store ordered noodles, so I followed suit. The basic Hiroshima Oyaki consists of only pork slices and eggs, in addition to noodles, batter, cabbage, and grilled noodles. The momentum of the meal is inevitably thin, and the changes in the middle and later stages are not enough, so I told you earlier that it is important to order good and full ingredients. There are sauces and mayonnaise on the table for you to try and add as you like. I always add a little more myself. The sauce of Nagataya Hiroshima Okaki is also the key to its deliciousness. Although the saltiness is high, it goes well with Hiroshima yaki. The spicy sauce is not too spicy. You may want to try both. #JapanTravel #Hiroshima #Foodie #HiroshimaOki

#2023travelwish A great place to come if you enjoy shopping, very large with lots of shops. Some places have great deals. It separate into 3 main zone. Hill side, east and west zone. I purchased winter wear and some clothing at a great price. Lots of stores from affordable to premium. Somehow limited restaurants options. On a sunny day, you can see mount Fuji, but we only saw clouds. The fastest way is taking bus from Shinjuku to reach here. Highly recommended!! #japan #couplestrip
