Why You Should Visit

Rinku Premium Outlets lights up for winter under the theme The Premium Winter, styled after an American holiday season. The landmark is a symbol tree about 6 meters tall dressed in candy-pop colored lights, joined by a glowing gazebo-shaped installation and photo spots around the outlet. The lights run from sunset until closing. From November 6 to 15 the display overlaps with the Premium Outlets Sale, where Rinku is one of three outlets offering up to 80% off, so it is easy to combine bargain shopping with evening photos by the bay, a short ride from Kansai Airport.

FAQ

Is there a charge to see the illumination?

No. The lights are in the outlet's common areas, so you can see them freely during opening hours.

How long is the Christmas tree on display?

The Christmas decorations stay up until Friday, December 25. The illumination itself continues until Wednesday, February 24, 2027.

What time should I arrive to see the lights on?

The lights come on at sunset. In Osaka the sun sets around 5 p.m. in November and December, so any time from late afternoon until closing works.
