What other travelers are saying about Okinawa Outlet Mall Ashibinaa
Spend some time in this factory outlet and u can really snag some good deals..
Though not as big as the outlets in Sapporo, this is less crowded when I visit...
Parking is also aplenty...
One of the four best outlets/shopping malls in Okinawa a must visit checklist during ur stay, make sure u do research if your favorite brands here, there’s another new shopping mall of IIAS nearby hence could do a combo visit.
ASHIBINAA Outlet stands as yet another monument to the slow death of the outlet mall - a relic of a fading industry, clinging desperately to a twilight that’s already slipping beneath the horizon.
Predictably, this outlet mall follows the same tired formula: a dreary parade of uninspired Western brands, indistinguishable from any middling outlet in the US or Canada. Without a trace of Japanese character to lend it charm, one wonders why any overseas visitor would bother making the trip.
The sheer scale of the space holds tantalising potential, but alas, the management appears steadfast in its devotion to monotony. One might almost admire the commitment to mediocrity, if only it weren’t so profoundly dull.
Outlet mall with wide selection of global name brands (Champion, Adidas, New Balance etc.) and some other luxury brands as well (Polo Ralph Lauren, Helly Hansen etc.). Many stores to choose from if you are shopping for clothing and shoes.
However, what I can't understand is the lack of sheltered walkways within the outlet mall. It made things very inconvenient as it was raining during our visit. It is also probably why it was not crowded at all on a weekend.
