Gotemba Kōgen Resort Toki no Sumika, 静岡県御殿場市にあるレジャー施設
Gotemba Kōgen Resort Toki no Sumika is a mountain resort near Gotemba, Japan, combining accommodations, dining, hot springs, and outdoor activities in a single complex. Lodging options range from hotel rooms to wooden lodges, yurts, and tepees, while the dining areas serve both Japanese and Western food.
The resort was built as a modern holiday destination around the natural hot springs found in the Gotemba area. Over time it expanded to add lodging, dining, and entertainment, growing into a larger complex than it was at the start.
The name translates roughly as 'place where time rests', which shapes the overall mood of the resort. Visitors can try traditional Japanese hot spring bathing in the onsen facilities, following the local habit of soaking slowly in naturally heated water.
A free shuttle bus runs between the resort and Mishima and Gotemba train stations, making it easy to arrive without a car. The grounds cover a large area, so renting a bicycle or Segway on-site is a good way to move between the different sections.
The highest point of the grounds hosts a water and light show called 'Okyuno Oka', directly inspired by the fountains of Versailles and set to music. During certain seasons, an event called 'Hikari no Sumika' covers the whole site with lights after dark, changing how the entire complex looks and feels at night.
