CONTENTS

Ces derniers temps les grands centres commerciales perdent petit à petit l’intérêt qu’ils avaient auprès des consommateurs. Quelles alternatives à ces derniers?
→ Les marchés et les outlets ouverts sur l’extérieur! Ils sont l’endroit idéal pour les familles et les couples souhaitant profiter d’une petite séance de shopping en toute décontraction. Mais alors qu’est-ce qu’on peut bien y trouver?

Un Cadre Unique

Le Mitsui Outlet Park Yokohama Bayside a été créé à l’image d’un petit port de la côte ouest américaine. En regardant ces photos vous vous demanderez peut-être même s’il ne s’agit pas d’un parc à thème! Ce lieu est assez unique pour son cadre : en face de certains restaurants siègera l’une des marinas les plus larges du Japon, celle de la Baie de Yokohama! Ici vous êtes garanti d’apprécier la vue sur la mer, le ciel et les yachts!

Laissez-nous vous présenter 4 Boutiques qui nous ont particulièrement plu :

❶ COACH

Aujourd’hui presque tout le monde a déjà entendu parler au moins une fois de la marque de designer COACH et les femmes s’arrachent leurs sacs et portefeuilles! Ici ce que nous avons apprécié c’est la disponibilité du staff et le fait de pouvoir 'tester la marchandise'. Dans la plupart des boutiques de marque on ne vous laissera pas toucher les produits, ici ce n’est pas le cas alors profitez-en!

❷ LEGO

Peu importe l’âge, tout le monde aime les LEGOs! La marque n’a cessé d’évoluer et proposent des jouets toujours plus impressionnants pour les petits et les grands! A cette boutique LEGO vous pouvez même créer votre propre personnage LEGO ou avoir un porte clé spécialement gravé pour vous!

Nous avons vraiment apprécié le moment et nous nous sommes bien amusés à préparer notre propre personnage et porte clé! Nous n’avions pas retouché des LEGOs depuis un certain temps et nous avons été bluffé par l’évolution opérée par la marque! Il y a maintenant un nombre incalculable de jouets sur des thèmes tout aussi variés! Un de nos magasins coup de coeur de cette ballade au Mitsui Outlet Park.

❸ BEAMS

BEAMS est reconnue comme l’une des marques japonaises les plus en vogue! La marque a du succès auprès d’une clientèle assez jeune (20^aine ～ 30^aine) mais n’est pas limitée à ce public. Le style est assez sobre et classique mais certains produits viennent contraster cet aspect! Vous nous direz bien entendu que vous pourriez aller dans une autre de leur boutique mais vous n’auriez pas accès aux réductions exclusives!

❹ NIKE

NIKE! La marque n’a plus à faire son nom, elle est appréciée de tous : des sportifs mais pas seulement! Dès votre arrivée dans la boutique votre regard sera tout de suite attiré par la couleur des boîtes de la marque. C’est comme si vous vous retrouviez dans un labyrinthe de boîtes à chaussures.
Comme tout outlet, tous les prix sont ici revu à la baisse! Vous penseriez peut-être que les derniers modèles sont à prix fort mais ce n’est pas le cas. Tous les produits sont en solde!

♥Mario Gelataria

Le Mistui Outlet Park faisant face à l’une des plus grandes marinas du Japon, vous pourrez profiter des plaisirs des bords de mer à quelques minutes du centre de Tokyo! Et qui dit bord de mer, dit relaxation! Laissez-vous donc tenter par les divers cafés et restaurants pour faire une pause entre deux séances de shopping! Pour notre part nous avons décidé de nous arrêter au Mario Gelataria, petite boutique qui propose des glaces à déguster en bord de mer.

L’ambiance du Mitsui Outlet Park Yokohama Bayside vous transporte presque à l’étranger! Le phare, les promenades en bord de mer, les yachts, tout est là pour vous rappeler la côte ouest. Il y a de nombreux endroits pour sortir en famille, en couple, entre amis et même seul si vous le souhaitez! Le Mitsui Outlet Park est l'endroit idéal pour profiter de l'ambiance de la baie de Yokohama alors n’en ratez pas une miette!

  Fukushima Prefecture sits at the southern tip of Japan's northern Tohoku region, and is divided into three parts with their own different charms: the Coastal Area (Hama-dori), the Central Area (Naka-dori), and the Aizu Area. There's Aizu-Wakamatsu with its Edo-era history and medieval castles, Oze National Park, Kitakata ramen, and Bandai Ski Resort (with its famous powder snow). Fukushima is a beautiful place to enjoy the vivid colors and sightseeing of Japan's beloved four seasons.
- YAMAGATA
  VIEW MORE
  
  Yamagata Prefecture is up against the Sea of Japan, in the southern part of the Tohoku region, and it's especially popular in winter, when travelers soak in the onsen (hot springs) and ski down snowy slopes. International skiiers are especially fond of Zao Onsen Ski Resort and Gassan Ski Resort, and in recent years visitors have been drawn to the area to see the mystical sight of local frost-covered trees. Some destinations are popular regardless of the season, like Risshakuji Temple, AKA Yamadera, Ginzan Onsen's nostalgic old-fashioned streets, and Zao's Okama Lake, all great for taking pictures. Yamagata is also the place to try Yonezawa beef, one of the top 3 varieties of wagyu beef.
- KANTO
  VIEW MORE
  
  Being the most densely populated area, the Kanto region (関東地方) includes the Greater Tokyo Area and 7 prefectures: Gunma, Tochigi, Ibaraki, Saitama, Tokyo, Chiba, and Kanagawa.

- GUNMA
  VIEW MORE
  
  Gunma Prefecture is easily accessible from Tokyo, and in addition to the area's popular natural attractions like Oze Marshland and Fukiware Falls, Gunma also has a number of popular hot springs (Kusatsu, Ikaho, Minakami, Shima)―it's even called an Onsen Kingdom.

- TOCHIGI
  VIEW MORE
  
  Tochigi Prefecture's capital is Utsunomiya, known for famous gyoza, and just an hour from Tokyo. The prefecture is full of nature-related sightseeing opportunities year-round, from the blooming of spring flowers to color fall foliage. Tochigi also has plenty of extremely well-known sightseeing destinations, like World Heritage Site Nikko Toshogu Shrine, Lake Chuzenji, and Ashikaga Flower Park―famous for expansive wisteria trellises. In recent years the mountain resort town of Nasu has also become a popular excursion, thanks in part to the local imperial villa. Tochigi is a beautiful place to enjoy the world around you.
- TOKYO
  VIEW MORE
  
  Tokyo (東京) est la capitale animée du Japon et la région métropolitaine la plus peuplée du monde. Alors que la ville dans son ensemble est assez moderne, bondée de gratte-ciel et de foules animées, Tokyo conserve également son côté traditionnel dans des endroits tels que le palais impérial et le quartier d'Asakusa. C'est l'une des meilleures villes du monde en matière de culture, d'arts, de mode, de jeux, d'industries de haute technologie, de transport et plus encore.
- CHUBU
  VIEW MORE
  
  The Chubu region (中部地方) is located in the center of Japan's main island and consists of 9 prefectures: Aichi, Fukui, Gifu, Ishikawa, Nagano, Niigata, Shizuoka, Toyama, and Yamanashi. Being primarily famous for its mountains like Mount Fuji and the Japanese Alps, and ski resorts in Niigata and Nagano, it is a popular winter destination for tourists.
- NAGANO
  VIEW MORE
  
  Nagano Prefecture's popularity starts with a wealth of historic treasures, like Matsumoto Castle, Zenkoji Temple, and Togakushi Shrine, but the highlight might just be the prefecture's natural vistas surrounded by the "Japanese Alps." Nagano's fruit is famous, and there are plenty of places to pick it fresh, and the area is full of hot springs, including Jigokudani Monkey Park―where monkeys take baths as well! Thanks to the construction of the Hokuriku shinkansen line, Nagano is easily reachable from the Tokyo area, adding it to plenty of travel itineraries. And after the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics, ski resorts like Hakuba and Shiga Kogen are known around the world.
- NAGOYA
  VIEW MORE
  
  Aichi Prefecture sits in the center of the Japanese islands, and its capital city, Nagoya, is a center of politics, commerce, and culture. While Aichi is home to major industry, and is even the birthplace of Toyota cars, it's proximity to the sea and the mountains means it's also a place with beautiful natural scenery, like Saku Island, Koijigahama Beach, Mt. Horaiji. Often used a stage for major battles in Japanese history, Sengoku era commanders like Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu left their own footprints on Aichi, and historic buildings like Nagoya Castle, Inuyama Castle, and those in Meiji Mura are still around to tell the tale.
- NIIGATA
  VIEW MORE
  
  Niigata is a prefecture on Japan's main island of Honshu, situated right on the coast of the Sea of Japan, and abundant with the gifts of nature.

- SHIZUOKA
  VIEW MORE
  
  Shizuoka Prefecture is sandwiched between eastern and western Japan, giving the prefecture easy access to both Tokyo and Osaka. Not only is it known for beautiful natural attractions, with everything from Mount Fuji to Suruga Bay, Lake Hamanako, and Sumata Pass―Shizuoka's Izu Peninsula is known as a go-to spot for hot springs lovers, with famous onsen like Atami, Ito, Shimoda, Shuzenji, and Dogashima. Shizuoka attracts all kinds of travelers thanks to historic connections with the Tokugawa clan, the Oigawa Railway, fresh eel cuisine, Hamamatsu gyoza, and famously high-quality green tea.
- KANSAI
  VIEW MORE
  
  Kansai (関西地方) is a region that includes Mie, Nara, Wakayama, Kyoto, Osaka, Hyogo and Shiga prefectures. Gradually becoming one of the most popular areas of Japan, Kyoto's temples and shrines, Osaka Castle, and feeding the deer in Kobe are considered a must. Many say the people in Kansai are more open and friendly, making it a fun place to hang out at night.
- KYOTO
  VIEW MORE
  
  Kyoto flourished as the capital of Japan between the years 794 and 1100, becoming a center for poilitics and culture, and to this day it's a great place for close encounters with Japanese history. The cobbled streets of Gion, the atmospheric road to Kiyomizudera Temple, Kinkakuji's golden walls and countless historic attractions, even Arashiyama's Togetsukyo Bridge―Kyoto is a place of many attractions. With new charms to experience throughout the seasons, travelers can't stop themselves from returning again and again.
- OSAKA
  VIEW MORE
  
  Osaka is known for friendly (and funny) people, but its history is nothing to laugh at, playing a major part in Toyotomi Hideyoshi's 16th century unification of Japan. Thanks to long years of economic activity, it's one of Japan's biggest cities, and Osaka's popular food culture earned it the nickname "The Kitchen of the Nation." To this day Osaka is the model of western Japan, and alongside historic structures like Osaka Castle, it also has major shopping malls like Umeda's Grand Front Osaka and Tennoji's Abeno Harukas. Osaka is a place to eat, eat, eat, with local specialties like takoyaki, okonomiyaki, and kushi-katsu, and for extra fun, it's home to Universal Studios Japan.
- CHUGOKU
  VIEW MORE
  
  The Chugoku Region (中国地方) consists of five prefectures: Hiroshima, Okayama, Shimane, Tottori, and Yamaguchi. In Chugoku you’ll find the sand dunes of Tottori, and Hiroshima’s atomic bomb site, plus centers of ancient history like Grand Shrine of Izumo.
- SHIKOKU
  VIEW MORE
  
  On the other side of the Seto Inland Sea opposite Japan’s main island, Shikoku (四国) is a region made up of four prefectures: Ehime, Kagawa, Kochi, and Tokushima. The area is famous for its udon (in Kagawa), and the beautiful Dogo Onsen hot springs (in Ehime).
- KAGAWA
  VIEW MORE
  
  Kagawa Prefecture is on the northern part of the island of Shikoku, facing Japan's main island and the Seto Inland Sea. It's known for being the smallest prefecture in Japan, by area, but at the same time Kagawa is called the "Udon Prefecture" thanks to its famous sanuki udon. Aside from Kotohiragu Shrine and Ritsurin Garden, the prefecture's small islands are popular, and Kagawa is full of unique destinations, like Angel Road. They say that if you lay eyes on Zenigata Sunae, a huge Kagawa sand painting, you'll never have money troubles ever again.
- KYUSHU
  VIEW MORE
  
  Located in the most southwestern part of Japan, Kyushu (九州) has 7 prefectures: Fukuoka, Saga, Nagasaki, Kumamoto, Oita, Miyazaki and Kagoshima. Famous for its unique culture and history of Chinese and Dutch trade and Western missionaries, Kyushu offers many historic treasures and beauties. It is also home to some of Japan's most famous natural hot springs due to all the volcanos.
- FUKUOKA
  VIEW MORE
  
  Fukuoka Prefecture has the highest population on the southern island of Kyushu, with two major cities: Fukuoka and Kitakyushu. Thanks to growing transportation networks, Fukuoka is more accessible than ever, and so are the many local attractions. On top of historical spots like Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, travelers shouldn't miss Fukuoka's food scene, with motsu nabe (offal hotpot), mentaiko (spicy cod roe), and famous Hakata ramen―best eaten from a food stall in the Nakasu area of Hakata. Plus, it's full of all sorts of destinations for travelers, like trendy shopping centers, and the beautiful nature of Itoshima and Yanagawa.
- KAGOSHIMA
  VIEW MORE
  
  Kagoshima Prefecture played a major role in Japan's modernization as a backdrop for famous historical figures like samurais Saigo Takamori and Okubo Toshimichi, who pushed Japan out of the Edo era and into the Meiji. Because of that, Sengan-en Garden is just one of many historical destinations, and when it comes to attractions Kagoshima has plenty: the active volcano of Sakurajima, popular hot springs Ibusuki Onsen and Kirishima Onsen, World Heritage Site Yakushima Island, even what Japan calls the "island closest to heaven," Amami Oshima. Kagoshima might be found on the very southernmost tip of the southern island of Kyushu, but there's plenty to see.
- OKINAWA
  VIEW MORE
  
  The island chain of Okinawa (沖縄) makes up the southernmost tip of Japan, which is why it's also the most tropical area in the country. Thanks to a history of independence and totally distinct political and cultural events, Okinawa has a unique culture, and remnants of the Ryukyu Kingdom are still visible all over the islands. Food, language, traditional dress, it's all a little different! It's also said to be the birthplace of karate.
