Gotemba Outlet Restaurants: 31 Best Places to Eat in 2026

Every time I visit Gotemba Premium Outlets, what catches me off guard isn't the luxury boutiques — it's the food. There are over 44 dining spots spread across three zones, and the range is genuinely impressive. You can grab a handcrafted lemonade and keep walking, or sit down for a full kaiseki-style rice set with Mt. Fuji framed in the window. That kind of flexibility is rare at any outlet in Japan.

What I especially like is how the restaurants are woven into the shopping areas rather than tucked away in a separate food hall. Get tired of browsing? There's a café right there. Suddenly hungry between stores? A Shizuoka soul-food stall is a two-minute walk. The three zones — EAST, WEST, and HILL SIDE — each have their own dining personality, which makes exploring them feel like visiting three different places in one day.

This guide covers 31 recommended restaurants across all three zones. Whether you're after a quick espresso from Starbucks, a plate of charcoal-grilled hamburger steak at Sawayaka, or macarons from Ladurée with a Mt. Fuji view, there's something here for every appetite and schedule.

Dining at Gotemba Outlet: Zone-by-Zone Overview

What's in each zone?

The 44 dining facilities at Gotemba Premium Outlets are spread across three zones, each with a different vibe. Here's a quick breakdown.

Restaurant hours

Most restaurants follow the outlet's standard hours of 10:00 – 20:00. A few exceptions to know:

• Tully's Coffee East opens at 9:00 AM on weekends and holidays — handy if you arrive before the gates open.
• Extended hours during busy seasons: spring break, summer, and the year-end period often see extended closing times. Check the official site before you go.
• Individual store hours can vary — confirm on the Gotemba Premium Outlets official restaurant page.

EAST ZONE: Restaurants & Kiosks

Atami Osakana Syokudou

Atami Osakana Syokudou is the first outlet outside the Atami resort area for this beloved seafood restaurant. The Gotemba location serves the same crowd-pleasing menu that made the original famous, plus a handful of Gotemba-exclusive dishes you won't find anywhere else. Think of it as a seaside fish restaurant that somehow ended up inside a fashion outlet — and made it work.

Trattoria Tavola

Trattoria Tavola is a Southern Italian restaurant built around a wood-fired pizza oven imported from Naples — assembled on-site by a master pizzaiolo brought in from Italy. The dough is made fresh daily from premium Italian flour, giving the crust that char-kissed, chewy texture you'd expect in Naples itself.

Beyond pizza, the menu features seasonal seafood and vegetables sourced from around Japan, a curated wine list from a resident sommelier, and locally brewed craft beer.

Godiva

Godiva needs no introduction — the Belgian chocolatier has been crafting luxury confections for over 80 years. At the outlet store, you'll find the full range of boxed chocolates, baked goods, and the popular Chocolixir drinks at better-than-boutique prices.

Tully's Coffee East

Tully's Coffee East is worth singling out for one reason: it serves a premium soft-serve ice cream that's only available at select locations. Pair it with a well-pulled espresso and you've got the perfect mid-morning fuel stop. On weekends and holidays, doors open at 9:00 AM — earlier than the rest of the outlet.

Gong Cha

Gong Cha, the global tea brand from Taiwan, brews every cup with premium loose-leaf tea, controlling water temperature and steeping time with precision. The signature milk teas are rich and balanced without being cloying. It's takeout-only, which actually works in your favor — grab a cup and keep shopping.

Philly's

Philly's does one thing exceptionally well: big, loaded hot dogs with quality sausages and a choice of toppings you can mix to taste. It sits right at the foot of the Dream Bridge connecting EAST and WEST zones, with plenty of shared outdoor seating nearby — great for a quick, filling lunch without committing to a full restaurant.

Godiva Chocolixer

The Godiva Chocolixer kiosk is separate from the main Godiva store and focuses entirely on drinks. The signature Chocolixer — real melted chocolate blended into a thick, cold drink — is indulgent in the best possible way. Seasonal and limited-edition flavors rotate throughout the year, so there's usually something new to try.

Benitora Shaochi Ten

Benitora Shaochi Ten brings Chinese street food — what's called "xiaochi" (小吃) in Mandarin, meaning light snacks — to the outlet in a fun, casual format. The two must-orders are the black sesame dan dan noodles and the simmered pork buns, both drawn from the menu of the well-regarded Benitora Gyozabo restaurant group.

Lemonade by Lemonica

Lemonade by Lemonica, born in Kanazawa, makes each drink to order using a house-made lemon concentrate slow-extracted from whole fresh lemons. No water, no shortcuts. The result is a lemonade that genuinely tastes like lemon — bright, balanced, and refreshing after hours on your feet.

Starbucks

The Gotemba outlet Starbucks is one of the quieter locations in the area — a genuine hidden gem compared to the Starbucks branches you'll find in downtown Tokyo or Shinjuku. If you're craving a familiar drink in a calmer setting, this is your spot. It serves the full espresso and handcrafted beverage menu.

Food Court: Food Bazaar (8 stalls)

The Food Bazaar is the largest food court at Gotemba Premium Outlets. With multiple stalls under one roof and a large communal seating area, it's the go-to option when different people in your group want different things. Seats fill up during peak lunchtime, but the turnover is fast. For detailed info on each stall's menu:

WEST ZONE: Restaurants & Kiosks

Shake Shack

Shake Shack needs no introduction for most international visitors. The New York fine-casual burger chain uses 100% hormone-free Angus beef for every patty, and the frozen custard shakes are dangerously good. The Gotemba location has 176 indoor seats plus 42 outdoor terrace seats — pets are welcome on the terrace, and kids' chairs are available.

Fauchon

Fauchon, the legendary Parisian épicerie founded at Place de la Madeleine, sells its signature teas, jams, and gourmet goods at outlet prices here. Better still, the outlet shop has a small bakery producing freshly baked bread on-site, and the tea bar lets you enjoy a pot of Fauchon tea with your pastry right there in the store. It's a slice of Paris in the Shizuoka mountains.

Benitora Kitchen

Benitora Kitchen is the full-restaurant sibling of the EAST ZONE kiosk. The menu leans into the bold flavors that Benitora is known for: iron-skillet fried gyoza, rich mapo tofu, and dan dan noodles. The setting is casual and energetic — exactly what you want for a midday recharge.

Gelato Pique Cafe

Gelato Pique Cafe spun off from the beloved loungewear brand of the same name — think of it as the dessert equivalent of their signature plush textures. The concept is "grown-up desserts," centered around authentic French crêpes made with carefully sourced ingredients. If you're in the mood for something sweet but refined, this is the pick.

Fresh Juice Bar Karin

Fresh Juice Bar Karin is a juice bar from a specialist fruit retailer. A certified "fruit meister" selects the produce, and every cup is made to order — no premade, no concentrate. The fresh extraction happens right in front of you, which is its own little bit of theatre.

Tully's Coffee West Kiosk

The Tully's Coffee West Kiosk is a counter-service takeout station offering the same quality coffee and soft-serve as the full cafe. There's shared terrace seating nearby — a calm spot to sit down, regroup, and plan the next section of your shopping day.

Idebok

Idebok uses fresh milk from their own farm at the foot of Mt. Fuji — no additives, no pasteurization shortcuts. The result is a soft-serve ice cream and gelato with a clean, naturally sweet flavor that stays with you. It's the kind of thing that becomes a must-stop on every return visit. You'll find it near the P2 parking entrance in WEST ZONE.

Crazy Crepes

Crazy Crepes is an American-style crêpe shop with a twist: the batter uses only eggs and milk — no water at all. That simple change produces a noticeably silkier, more tender crêpe than the standard recipe. It's a small detail that makes a real difference in texture.

HILL SIDE: Restaurants & the Itadaki Terrace

HILL SIDE is the newest and most restaurant-dense zone at the outlet, with 17 dining options. The selling point is obvious the moment you step in: almost every table has a view of Mt. Fuji. Whether you're eating sushi, eel, macarons, or Shizuoka noodles, that backdrop doesn't get old.

Sawayaka (Charcoal-Grilled Restaurant)

Sawayaka is the restaurant that visitors talk about most — and for good reason. This Shizuoka-only chain serves charcoal-grilled hamburg steak cooked over binchotan charcoal, giving it a smoky, caramelized crust and an extraordinarily juicy interior. The signature "Genkotsu Hamburg" (fist-shaped patty) is finished tableside by a staff member who cuts it open and lets the juices flow out. You can't get this anywhere outside Shizuoka prefecture.

■ Wait times can be long — get a numbered ticket early

Sawayaka doesn't take traditional reservations. You take a numbered ticket when you arrive — these are distributed via a physical machine or the app. On weekends, waits of 60–90 minutes are common by mid-morning. The smart move: get your ticket as soon as the outlet opens, then shop while you wait.

Salon Ginza Sabou Komeshokudo

Salon Ginza Sabou Komeshokudo opened in spring 2020 with an unusual premise: a set-menu restaurant centered on rice. And not just any rice — the "Yukihotaka" variety, a Guinness World Record holder for quality, cooked to order in individual clay pots. You assemble your meal from around 30 small side dishes and pickles. The Mt. Fuji view from the dining room adds considerably to the experience.

Eggs 'n Things Coffee

Eggs 'n Things Coffee carries the DNA of the beloved Honolulu breakfast institution. The "All Day Breakfast" concept means you can order fluffy pancakes with whipped cream at 3 PM and nobody bats an eye. 100% Kona coffee, Hawaiian-style plates, and a breezy tropical atmosphere — it's a nice counterpoint to the more formal Japanese restaurants on HILL SIDE.

Numazu Uogashi Sushi

Numazu Uogashi Sushi sources its fish from Suruga Bay every morning — caught by local fishermen and delivered before the restaurant opens. The specialty is the "Deka Neta Zushi" (oversized-topping sushi), where the fish is so large it practically covers the entire rice mound. If you're going to eat sushi with a Mt. Fuji view, this is where to do it.

Hyorokutei

Hyorokutei specializes in unagi (eel) prepared in the Kansai style: grilled directly without steaming first, which preserves more of the eel's natural flavor and gives the skin a satisfying crispness. The restaurant's name references "roku hyotan" (six gourds), a traditional symbol of good health. Soba and yam dishes round out the menu.

Ladurée

Ladurée, the Parisian pâtisserie maison founded in 1862, is the house that invented the modern macaron Parisien. The Gotemba location carries the signature pastel-colored macarons, seasonal creations, and elegant salon de thé offerings. It's one of those rare spots where the atmosphere matches the food. A box of Ladurée macarons also makes an exceptional souvenir.

Pierre Marcolini

Pierre Marcolini is one of the very few chocolatiers in the world that controls the entire process from cocoa bean to finished chocolate. The Gotemba outlet carries chocolates, baked goods, and ice cream at outlet prices — and features a Gotemba-exclusive "Baked Chocolat" you won't find elsewhere. The in-store café serves parfaits that genuinely belong in a high-end dessert restaurant. Regulars report finding signature chocolates here at less than half the department-store price.

Tully's Coffee & Tea Hill Side

The Tully's Coffee & Tea Hill Side location leans into its tea program more than other branches — Darjeeling single-origin options, seasonal fruit-infused iced teas, and layered tea lattes share menu space with the usual espresso drinks. The morning view of Mt. Fuji from this spot is genuinely something to plan around.

Tamura Ginkatsutei

Tamura Ginkatsutei is famous for its Hakone Gora specialty: "Tofu Katsu Ni" — tofu wrapped in pork, breaded, deep-fried, then simmered in savory broth. It sounds unusual but the result is light, satisfying, and distinctly Japanese. Everything is fried in 100% rice oil, making it noticeably less heavy than conventional tonkatsu.

Fun Fun Yumcha

Fun Fun Yumcha is a casual dim sum restaurant where the dumplings and buns are steamed fresh right in front of you. Set meals pair dim sum with rice dishes like shrimp chili and mapo tofu. There's also a takeout counter for steamed buns and Chinese-style sweets — good for eating while you walk.

Itadaki Terrace: Shizuoka Soul Food

Itadaki Terrace is a covered outdoor food hall within HILL SIDE that showcases the regional cuisine of Shizuoka prefecture. If you want to eat something specifically local — rather than a brand you've seen elsewhere — start here. The Mt. Fuji view is arguably the best vantage point on the entire property.

Pacific Cafe

Pacific Cafe originates from a Hawaiian restaurant next to a lighthouse in Omaezaki, Shizuoka. Their parent company, Nikkoumaru, catches tuna and bonito by single-hook line fishing — a technique that minimizes stress on the fish and maximizes quality. The poke bowl made with S1-grade bonito and tuna is outstanding. The Loco Moco and the local "Naminori Burger" are also crowd-pleasers.

Wood Burning Steak

Wood Burning Steak is rare in Japan — a restaurant that uses actual firewood to cook its meat, not gas or charcoal. The wood flame wraps around the steak from all sides, searing the outside while keeping the interior juicy, and adds a light smokiness that you can't replicate any other way. Besides steaks, the menu includes curry rice and garlic rice.

Shizuoka Gotouchi Gourmet Express

Shizuoka Gotouchi Gourmet Express is an informal food stall covering the greatest hits of Shizuoka cuisine. The Fujinomiya Yakisoba (a stir-fried noodle dish famous nationwide) and Hamamatsu Gyoza (pan-fried dumplings arranged in a circle, with a mound of bean sprouts in the center) are the two things to order. Roast beef rice bowls and takoyaki round out the menu.

Fujiyama Saryou

Fujiyama Saryou specializes in "Mikuriya Soba" — a rustic buckwheat noodle dish that has been eaten along the Ayu River near Gotemba for centuries. It's earthy, textured, and deeply local. The restaurant also serves a range of udon dishes and rice bowls supervised by the Gotemba tonkatsu institution Tsubasa.

Nihonbashi Menya Maishi

Nihonbashi Menya Maishi is a ramen restaurant conceived by a sushi chef — which explains the obsessive attention to the soup base. The house specialty blends sea bream dashi and chicken broth, producing a clean, umami-forward bowl that's more refined than most ramen you'll encounter. It's subtle in the best way.

San Grams Green Tea

San Grams Green Tea is a new-generation Japanese tea stand from Kikugawa, one of Shizuoka's premier tea-growing towns. A trained "nihoncha barista" brews each cup individually using a kyusu teapot — no machines. The menu ranges from classic cold brew to Japanese black tea lattes and frozen tea drinks. The Gotemba-exclusive soft serve is worth stopping for on its own.
