Most of us are aware of this term "Premium outlets". For those who are not aware of the term - premium outlets, please google this term and you would be able to get results showing the different premium outlets in USA and other countries.
It is not a common term in Singapore, but in countries like Japan and USA, there are a number of such outlets located around the countries. Normally, they are located in quite inaccessible locations away from the central of the cities. Tourists like ourselves like to travel to these outlets to shop for cheaper items.
During my last trip to Japan, my friend and I visited the Gotemba Premium outlet located in Gotemba. We had a great time visiting the stores, which consists of famous brands like, coach, prada, Gucci, YSL, Bottega Veneta, D&G, Jimmy Choo, Samantha Thavasa, etc. The prices of the items are cheaper as some of the products there are mostly "Off season" items, which the stores are selling at a discount. One of my friends bought two coach bags for his mother and friend, as for me, I bought a nike sport bra at 1,000 yen (S$13) and a Samantha Thavasa evening bag at 19,000 yen after a 30% discount.
So if you are going to Tokyo and have an afternoon to spend, you may want to consider going to the premium outlet to do some bargain shopping. For those non-shopaholic, I would not advise visiting the premium outlet as there is practically nothing to do there other than SHOPPING.
One more thing, do not take the bus there, it is going to be a very very long journy due to the traffic condition in Tokyo. Yes. do not be surprise, the traffic jam there is really terrible. Taking the rail is a much better choice.
