Yes, Rinku Premium Outlet. Correct, there are buses to ferry people to and fro.

I hope no... I'm not a big fan of brick & mortar shopping but need to kill time plus it is the last day of my trip, I hope I still have money to shop on that day.

Got credit cards. What's the purpose of those high credit limits if not utilized fully?

Lol. On a serious note, you still have almost one full day left for any activities before you head to Kix. Maybe you can plan ahead and not waste time at PO.

I hear ya mate but would rather go for convenience over lounge lolz!
Having said that, I will be using the Sakura Lounge in Narita come this November

Yeah, I will plan what needs to do on that day, gotta find what is near to airport besides Rinku. I will send off my friend to KIX in the morning, so I will store my luggage in airport before heading out on my own.

That's why, I dont really mind the temperature, but if it's windy, it will make it a lot colder. May I know when was the time you went there that super windy?

it was early january
but that time even the temperature is unpredictable

weather forecast say 10-7c, the day before departure i check live weather...also around the range
but when i arrive, it was 3c
and it was 3c all the way until my 2nd last day, thn it got warm back for 1 day before i leave

I see, January is winter right. So that one have to bring winter clothing no matter what. haha. I think for my trip, sweater that can cover till 10c should be okay. I hope. haha.

If you don't like to carry so much clothes and wear so many layers of clothing, HeatTech is your answer.

yes
it was winter and i did bring my winter jacket
but i was under-prepared due to the sudden temp drop and wind
i forgot to bring glove and face mask
my hands are being blown by the wind until whitish and stiff
my face is being blown by the wind until my lips dried and cracked....my cheek also have peeling because so dry

only my body part is well insulated

Enjoy super duper boring flight to Sapporo.
LoL.......

ghibli museum abit troublesome to buy tickets coz is very limited, if u insist, u need to go their official website and see the date to buy tickets online on certain date a month before if I'm remembered it correctly. on the date and time, u will need to sit infront computer and hunt ur tickets purchase. never buy tickets in tokyo or at the museum coz i doubt it will available.

I thought saw a NHK documentary few months ago in relation to novel activities near KIX during layover, quite informative:

Exploring near Kansai Airport & Treasure Hunting at 100-yen Shops

Yeah but almost everything needs booking.
Thanks for sharing, at least I know I can plan somewhere near KIX.

What sort of discount coupon are you referring to? I'm sure there's T&C written on the coupon on the redemption - whether 1 coupon per ticket or whether 1 coupon is applicable for all/ total tickets.

"chi-ketto yottsu onegaishimasu." (4 ticket please)
"kono ku-pon wa yon-nin wo tsukatte mo-ii desu ka?" (can this coupon be used for 4 people?)

Beware that when you start speaking Japanese from the get-go, they'll assume you're fluent and then you'll be bombarded with Japanese all the way. While you may be able to ask question in Japanese, you may not understand the reply.

I'll suggest starting the conversation or speaking in English instead, and the Japanese phrase is backup in case they could not understand what you try to say in English.

I see, okay2. Will keep that in mind if im going on winter. But autumn i dont think i need to wear HeatTech kan. haha. So far the forecast never say that it will drop below 10. Just hoping that it's not so windy. My first time driving there, normally just take train. haha.

Hi Guys, I have 2 days free for my Tokyo trip.
Any suggestions for me? hehe thanks.

Just want to offer my 2 yen. I was in Kyoto-Osaka in October last year and I noticed the forecast temperatures this year is similar. From my experience, the early morning and night time can feel a bit chilly for some people when temperatures drop to 10+ C. But in the afternoon it can get very warm - don't let the 20+ C temperatures fool you. I would say a sweater or light jacket is sufficient. If you love cold weather like me, you can actually do without one even.

Between a 1hour 50 mins flight vs a shinkansen + train ride + transfer time for 6-7 hours+-, I will stick with the flight thank you.

Use google translator should be the safest.

Nolar... You definitely don't need HeatTech in autumm. Just a light jacket in your bagpack would be enough. If you are in the city, it wouldn't be that cold compared to the outskirts.

Yeah, just planning to bring the sweater from universal traveller. it says can tahan till 10-15'c. Should be sufficient i guess. Thanks for the advice!

Edit: btw, im going to Hiroshima, Kobe, Nara, Nikko - Tochigi area. So this consider quite outskirt right?

My 2 cents, a windbreaker is better than anything else. Sometimes, its mentioned 10+C for the temps, but with wind, it can go wayyyyy lower than that. Worse come to worst, just go to Daiso and get few heat packs for your hand and few masks for your face to retain moisture.
