Kobe-Sanda Outlet shopping guide
Outlet first · Dining alternatives & the connecting bridge
Spend your time on the shops you want
Start with the brands you want to visit, then plan food around your remaining time. AEON MALL Kobe Kita is across the pedestrian bridge, useful for an alternative meal or a short indoor browse. You do not need to explore both centres. Follow the visit length and pickup time agreed with your driver.
Check visitor coupons before paying
Look for the on-site “For Tourists from Overseas / Download Coupons” sign. Scan its QR code, check participating shops, validity and terms, and show the coupon before payment. It may not apply to every store or combine with other offers.
Tax-free shopping: at least JPY 5,000 before tax
Eligible visitors may apply at participating tax-free stores when purchases total at least JPY 5,000 before tax at the same store on the same day. Do not combine spending at different brand stores. Bring your original passport and ask before paying. Eligible products and procedures depend on the store and applicable rules.
From 1 November 2026, Japan moves to a refund system: pay the tax-inclusive price, then receive the consumption-tax refund after customs confirms export at departure. Complete the required shop procedures and check how your refund will be paid.
Japan’s new tax-free shopping rules →Leave time at the end
Fitting rooms, checkout and tax-free procedures can have queues. As a planning buffer, leave roughly 20–30 minutes before pickup for payment, walking and finding your car. This is not a measured walking time. Confirm the pickup location with your driver.
