One of the pleasures during a trip for me is shopping. If you are a person like me, you may like this post.
You can find several outlet malls in Kansai. Today I’d like to introduce the following:

1. Mitsui Outlet Park Shiga Ryuo in Shiga
This outlet mall is the latest one in Kansai and it has one of the largest numbers of shops, but it’s in an inconvenient location if you are staying at Kyoto or Osaka city. You can go there by train and bus, but it is easier to book highway bus service. But this service is only available on weekends and holidays from the bus stop close to Kyoto station and Osaka station.

2. Rinku Premium Outlets in Osaka
This outlet mall is located close to Kansai International Airport, and also has a pretty large number of shops. Sky Shuttle Bus service is available from Kansai International Airport; it takes approx. 20 minutes.

3. Kobe Sanda Premium Outlet
These large-scale outlet shopping facilities are located in north Kobe. The streets are open and comfortable with rich green environment. The design of the town was modeled on Pasadena, which is located on the outskirts of Los Angeles. About 216 well-known foreign and domestic brand stores offer garments, sundries, sporting goods and furniture. You can enjoy shopping all day long in this sophisticated town.
