Gotemba Premium Outlets Pearly Gates: Best Golf Gear Deals in Japan
If you golf, you already know Pearly Gates by its bold colors and playful prints before you even see the logo. At Gotemba Premium Outlets, the store carries a surprisingly deep stock of caddie bags, polos, and outerwear — and the outlet pricing makes it one of the easier "treat yourself" stops on a shopping day here.
I'll be honest: I'm not a golfer myself, but I always swing by this store with friends who are, and the caddie bag wall never fails to get a reaction. Bright navy, classic white, the occasional loud print — there's a lot more variety than you'd expect from a brand outlet this size.

What Pearly Gates Is Known For
Pearly Gates built its name on golf apparel that doesn't take itself too seriously — sharp tailoring with playful colors and prints that stand out on the course. It's a Japanese brand, and that shows in the attention to detail: clean stitching, premium fabric blends, and a fit that holds up over time.
Caddie Bags Are the Main Draw
The caddie bag selection is where this store really earns the stop. You'll find everything from understated navy and white options to the brand's signature loud prints, in a range of weights and pocket configurations. Outlet pricing typically runs noticeably below department store rates, which matters given how much a good caddie bag usually costs.
If you're shopping for a bag specifically, go on a weekday morning. Popular colorways do sell out, and restocking isn't guaranteed since this is outlet inventory.
Apparel That Works On and Off the Course
Polos, half-zips, and lightweight jackets make up most of the apparel racks, and a fair amount of it is casual enough to wear off the course too. The fabric quality is consistent — breathable, UV-protective pieces for summer, layered options for cooler months. Sizing leans Japanese (so a US Medium often fits closer to a Small), so it's worth trying things on rather than guessing.
Inside the Pearly Gates Store
Walking in, the caddie bags line one wall and apparel fills the rest of the floor by color rather than by category, which actually makes browsing easier — you can see a whole outfit's color story at a glance. Staff are helpful if you ask, but otherwise leave you to browse, which I appreciate.
Accessories Worth a Look
Beyond bags and clothing, the store stocks gloves, head covers, visors, caps, and towels — small items that make easy gifts if you're not in the market for a full outfit or bag.
- Caddie bags in multiple sizes and colorways
- Golf gloves and head covers
- Polos, jackets, and layering pieces
- Caps, visors, and golf towels

What Visitors Are Saying
I came specifically for a caddie bag and walked out with one for almost half what I'd pay back home. The selection was way bigger than I expected from an outlet store.
My husband golfs, I don't, but I still found a great half-zip in the women's section that I now wear hiking. Good crossover pieces if you're not strictly a golfer.
Staff helped me find a size even though my Japanese is basically nonexistent. They pulled out a tape measure and we figured it out together.
I stop here every time I'm at Gotemba. The print rotation changes enough season to season that there's usually something new worth a look.
Grabbed a cap and a visor for my dad as a souvenir. Easy gift shopping even if you're not buying anything for yourself.
The polo I tried fit tighter than my usual size back home. Definitely try before you buy rather than ordering by your home-country size.
The colorway I wanted online wasn't in stock in store. Outlet inventory rotates, so if you have a specific item in mind, it's worth calling ahead or just going early.

Tax-Free Shopping Tip
Pearly Gates purchases qualify for Japan's 10% consumption tax exemption for international visitors. Bring your passport, and the store's tax-free counter (or the central tax-free counter, depending on the day) will handle the paperwork on the spot — it only takes a few minutes and adds up fast on apparel or a caddie bag.
