Gotemba Outlets

For those of you in Japan, if you haven't made it to the Gotemba Premium Outlet mall in Hakone, I highly recommend it. It has a great mix of Japanese stores and American stores (Hello Eddie Bauer, Banana Republic, Northface, LLBean!). I think I'll make a trip back to do some Christmas shopping.

It took an hour to get there and 2 1/2 to get back, but we went on a Sunday so that's pretty standard I suppose. We also headed home around 5 pm. You'd probably have better luck if you went early and came home earlier in the afternoon. The place is huge though so we spent about 5 hours there including lunch at the food court.

Thanks for navigating Aya. Nice pocket, Angelica.
