Buses run frequently, require no transfers, and take you directly to the Outlet complex, with a journey time of approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, making it very convenient. Another option is to take the JR Tokaido Line or Odakyu Line to Gotemba Station, and then transfer to the Outlet's free shuttle bus, which takes about 15-20 minutes.

If you want to focus on Mt. Fuji views, consider heading to Oshino Hakkai or Lake Kawaguchiko in the Fuji Five Lakes area to see Mt. Fuji's reflection. After a day's activities, take transportation back. This arrangement allows you to experience shopping, nature, and culture in a single day.
