Sano Premium Outlets — Attraction in Sano

3.5 stars

They had many instagrammable photo areas and for some reason another photo theme was Winnie the Pooh and they had many areas set up for photos.

As with all premium outlets in Japan it's nothing compared to prices of outlets in North America. It's a lot smaller than the outlet in Gotemba or Karuizawa... But it's much more accessible because it's not too big and it's far less crowded which makes it all more pleasant.

I think outlet malls are a little bit cheaper this year maybe due to Corona and sluggish moving inventory. Most shops had additional 20 to 30% on top of the already reduced prices.

Please make sure you have the premium outlet malls app installed on your mobile and you can find some additional discount offers on the app.
