[OSAKA BLOG 2014] Day 4: Kobe Sanda Premium Outlets Shopping !!

Good morning friends !

This post is the last day of our very fruitful Osaka trip ^^

We headed to Kobe-Sanda Premium Outlets !!!

I'm so glad we decided to make a trip here cus it was really worthwhile .. hehe ;)

So prior to going we did some research , Kobe-Sanda Premium Outlets is one of the largest in Japan.

 Of course, the largest is none other than GOTEMBA Premium Outlets which is the flagship outlet in Japan, near Mount Fuji & the beautiful mountain as a backdrop to your shopping !

I've personally been to Gotemba Premium Outlets before few years ago and nothing much to buy for me, because their stores are the usual like Nike, Coach etc (maybe before it expanded-- it has much more stores now !! ) But of course the scenery was beautiful !

You can view Gotemba stores listing : http://www.premiumoutlets.co.jp/en/gotemba/

What makes Kobe-Sanda Premium Outlets so interesting to us its because it actually houses luxury brands such as GUCCI, PRADA, YSL , BALLY,  BOTTEGA VENETA , LONGCHAMP etc . some of which not exists in Gotemba (and of course Gotemba will be more ex because thats where all the tourists go !)

So we're very hyped up today ! haha ...

View our route : Recommended by their website :



We took the JR ways as we have a JR pass - we decided to take bus from Sannomiya Station as it was less complicated.. haha ..






JR SANNOMIYA




This is the timetable of the bus from Sannomiya Station to Sanda Premium Outlets .
Ask for directions when you reach Sannomiya Station on where to take this bus !



It was a comfortable ride and we saw a lot of local scenery , slept on the bus as well


Finally reached !!
Beside the outlets there was a huge AEON mall opposite of it !


lets begin shopping ~~




Store Listing !!




Before shopping :
** REMEMBER to head to the tourist centre to get your exclusive discount coupons (if avail)
so its like discount on top of discount !! We got them :D

Dont say outlet designs old fashion ... we quite surprised the designs here so nice D:


PRADA store

GUCCI store

Coach was sooooooooo cheap .. I managed to buy a wallet for my dad only S$120 !!!


LONGCHAMP store !!!
Cant believe actually Longchamp quite cheap here !! The ones below are 5000 Yen.

I got this Gold one for my mum ! Design not even available here ...... about $60 !
As we spent over certain amt, got more discount using the coupon!


These designs are SO NEW !! Dont' even see in SG. I got the red sling for S$100 ^^



I also got the black Men's bag below for my Brother, its so huge - can fit 3 days clothes !

BOTTEGA VENETA store


Actually the stores design and colours quite new !!

I got this BV pouch below for Yen 15000, about SGD 170 ?

Best to use cash, shop till drop !!


Almost implusely bought a bracelet .. and the Mens Wallet Classic design is like SGD 400 or so ..
Oh ya , when you buy something, must keep the receipts , they will staple something to your passport .. so its like tax free for us ..



Lunchtime with tons of bags



I also shopped Lawrys Farm like mad.. cos like mad cheap ... only 10 + for the clothes !! Also deeply regret that I did not buy the Nike Sky Hi wedge sneakers at the Nike store .. Wedge Sneakers not even available in SG at that time and already in Japan outlets -.- zomg...
Huge damage done here , actually havent shop finish everything but we gotta run cus we have a night flight to catch !
When returning, we actually managed to catch the bus from Sanda premium outlets straight to JR osaka station ! wow , lucky us. You all can check the timing first before shopping !
And it saved quite abit of time, as we could rest our bags and nap on the bus ! about 1.30min journey ..



Rush back to Hotel to gather our luggage and pack those goods into the bags !


Not forgetting dinner and not giving chance, must eat KAITEN SUSHI !!
We went into a crowded looking store along the streets and were not dissapointed !!






Prices from 120 Yen onwards and already SO MUCH CHOICE ZOMG


We gonna miss this place so much !!




On the streets walking back to our hotel !


This is the entrance of FLORAL INN NAMBA , our hotel !
