Gotemba, at the southeastern base of Mount Fuji in Shizuoka Prefecture, is the primary gateway city for the Subashiri ascent trail up Japan's sacred mountain and home to the Japan Self-Defense Force Fuji Garrison whose presence on the Higashifuji Training Area creates a distinctive military-civilian character unique among Fuji's surrounding communities. Gotemba Onsen Shizuoka draws on sodium and bicarbonate thermal waters from the rich geothermal resources of the Fuji volcanic complex, providing restorative post-climb baths for mountain hikers and cultural travellers exploring the foothill communities surrounding Japan's most recognisable and spiritual peak. The Gotemba Premium Outlets, the famous Fuji Speedway motorsport circuit, and the spectacular panoramic views of Mount Fuji from the Otome Pass mountain road make Gotemba a year-round thermal destination with an exceptionally broad range of complementary attractions.
