What other travelers are saying about Okinawa Outlet Mall Ashibinaa
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.
Visited in September 2024.
If you like shopping, I think it’s a great huge place with a lot of options for variety of prices for all kind of brands. Just make sure to look in stores even if you don’t have the brand because you might find really good things for a really good price.
