Most people knows Gotemba as the famous outlet among tourist...but my friend whonis Japanese took me to Karuizawa and i found that this outlet is much bigger and complete ither than Gotemba. Its verybeasy to reach by train as the reain station just infront of this outlet. You can also put your luggage in lots of locker there and the biggest you can pay only 500 yen. It needs at least one day to gonaround this outlet. So make sure you have enough time. Dont forget to bring your passport as tax refund you can have straight away in almost every store. You can also see Karuizawa ski resort from the parking place

This outlet mall is situated just in front of shinkansen station and very accesible. The mall is very huge with many brand stores selling outlet items. The price is very reasonable for some brands. Sports wears such as Addidas and New Balance are worth buying if you can find your size. The mall is full of people despite pandemic and people can spend hours for shopping in this place.

This is a pretty good place to go shopping if you are in the area or visiting Karuizawa as its one of the biggest outlet malls in Japan. The plaza is HUGE and there are plenty of shops, all major brands from Bathing Ape, Raphle Lauren, Adidas, Nike to Le Creuset and so on) but its is often full of people (even through October 2020 before Japan spiked again with Covid it was pretty full with Japanese, usually it's full of Chinese people coming to shop). There are some excellent bargains to be found but I would suggest getting there early in the day, checking out the map in advance and having a good idea what shops you want to really shop at first as it's easy to get lost in the enormity of the place.
