Osaka Rinku Town Premium Outlet Mall

The Premium Outlet Mall is popular with tourists who arrive in bus loads. The main access modes are train (nearby JR and Nankai Railways Rinku Town) or by 100 yen 30-min frequency shuttle bus from Kaisai Airport. The shuttle bus pick up point is at a rather distant end of the airport at the bus terminal. It can be quite difficult to locate if there is no queue in sight. The shuttle bus is a large coach that allows tourists to load their large suitcases in the trunk.

When travelling with a younger one, every destination needs to have a playground as a form of a bribe to reward good behaviour while the adults go shopping. In the premium outlet mall, we found a small play area within the Lego outlet that sells retail lego sets at 30% discount.

There is an outdoor playground near to starbucks, which is a little more difficult to locate. We would not have known where it was had it not been for the shuttle bus driving past it.

Satisfied look after playing
