Last-minute shopping and a Ferris wheel ride
Palm trees, blue skies, and outlet shops. One station away from Kansai Airport, Rinku Town makes a great first or last destination before a long flight.
Retail is the prime attraction, with outlets for a wide range of brands, including Adidas, Kate Spade New York, and The North Face. The oceanside, open-air location is also an ideal place to spend time prior to (or directly after) your flight.
