Rinku Premium Outlets is the largest outlet mall in western Japan. There is an area that is reminiscent of the historic port town of Charleston, S.C., as well as an open area facing the sea, where visitors can enjoy shopping in a resort-like atmosphere.

Located in "Rinku Town" on the opposite shore from Kansai International Airport, the vast premises are lined with approximately 250 stores of well-known domestic and international brands.

In August 2020, a new "Seaside Area" will open. It has evolved into a versatile seaside outlet with a glamping area and a food hall with a spectacular view where you can dine while overlooking the sea.

"Izumisano Fishing Port" is one of the largest fish ports in Izumisano, which boasts one of the largest catches in Osaka Prefecture. The Izumisano Fisheries Cooperative Open-Air Market is directly connected to the Izumisano Fisheries Cooperative Association, and sells fresh seafood landed that day as it is.

You can also enjoy a meal here, so we recommend eating sushi with fresh and lively ingredients on the first floor, or indulging in a variety of set menus and barbecue at the restaurant on the second floor.

Izumisano Fisheries Cooperative Aozora Market is close to tourist attractions such as Rinku Premium Outlet Mall and Rinku Pleasure Town Seakill, so it is a good idea to fill up here before heading out.

"Rinku Park" is a vast seaside park located on the opposite shore of Kansai International Airport. Its greatest attraction is its location facing the sea.
