1. Mitsui Outlet Park Makuhari: Popular Among Tourists!
Not too long ago, Mitsui Group’s outlet park opened in Taiwan, so the Mitsui Outlet Park Makuhari is a favorite among tourists from Asia. This premium outlet mall near Tokyo was expanded and entirely renewed in 2015. With highly convenient access from Tokyo Station, it only takes 30 minutes via the JR Keiyo Line to Kaihimmakuhari Station. Take the south exit, and you’re right in front of the outlet mall!
Several famous brands sell their products at factory prices here, so there’s many a bargain to be struck, especially with sample products and clothes from the last season!
Around 62 out of 125 shops offer tax exemption service, including a wide variety of international brands (Coach, Bally, Michael Kors), Japanese brands (Nice Claup, Beams), and sports brands (Adidas, Puma, Under Armour). Make sure to bring your passport!
Of course, shopping makes you hungry, and Mitsui Outlet Park Makuhari’s many restaurants will keep you fed and energized. Look forward to dining at MAISON KAYSER or Pizzeria 32.
