2026 Gotemba Summer Festival Pedestrian Paradise: A Full One-Day Course
This one-day course puts the spotlight on the first day of the Gotemba Summer Festival Pedestrian Paradise (held August 1-2, 2026) in Gotemba, a highland town spreading across the foothills of Mt. Fuji. By day, enjoy shopping at a large outlet mall, take a leisurely stroll through a garden associated with Prince and Princess Chichibu, and cool off at a lush hot-spring facility. After an early dinner at the shopping street in the evening, the night belongs to the festival itself, as the old Prefectural Route 246 turns into a pedestrian paradise. Walk the stall-lined street in yukata and enjoy the summer night together as a family. With shopping and nature by day and the lively pedestrian paradise by night, you can spend a refreshingly cool day true to high-altitude Gotemba.
