Article History

Gotemba, city, eastern Shizuoka ken (prefecture), central Honshu, Japan. It lies at the eastern foot of Mount Fuji.

Gotemba is best known as a recreational and tourist centre. The city has a picturesque setting and serves as a base for the ascent of Fuji. Because of the high elevation of 1,500 feet (450 metres), cultivation in the surrounding area is limited to mulberry trees for silkworm breeding. The raising of hogs and poultry was introduced after World War II. The city contains a large firing range used by the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force. Pop. (2005) 85,976; (2010) 89,030.
