💡 How to make the most of a day at Rinku Town?
🛍️ Rinku Premium Outlets
Even if you’ve visited numerous outlets in Japan, Rinku Town will leave a lasting impression! It boasts a wide range of brands and fresh collections, all at more affordable prices compared to large city malls. Discounts like 30% or 50% off are common. Highly recommended for Japanese brands, sportswear, household items, and kids’ clothing! It’s best to arrive early, as popular sizes might sell out by the afternoon.

🎡 Giant Ferris Wheel
A visit to Rinku Town wouldn’t be complete without riding its iconic Ferris wheel! The ride lasts about 15-20 minutes, featuring fully transparent cabins. During daylight, it feels especially dreamy, while at dusk, it’s perfect for capturing sea views and the gradient colors of the sky. Every photo taken here is Instagram-worthy!

🌅 Rinku Beach Sunset
Right across from the outlets is the tranquil Rinku Beach. After shopping, you can relax by the seaside, enjoy the breeze, and wait for the sunset. As the sun dips below the horizon, the bright blue sea creates a chill and healing atmosphere. It’s a must-visit spot for families or couples to snap memorable photos!

🍽️ Dining Recommendations
The outlet itself offers plenty of dining options, ranging from Japanese set meals to light snacks. We recommend trying "Washoku Sato," a set meal restaurant with reasonable prices and diverse choices. If you’re in a hurry to continue shopping, the Food Court is a great option with ramen, udon, and sushi. Nearby, Ichiran Ramen (about a 7-minute walk) is also highly recommended, and it’s easy to find seating in the evening.
