The Kansai region (関西地方, Kansai-chihō) or the Kinki region (近畿地方, Kinki-chihō) lies in the southern-central region of Japan's main island Honshū. The region includes the prefectures of Mie, Nara, Wakayama, Kyoto, Osaka, Hyōgo and Shiga, sometimes Fukui, Tokushima and Tottori. While the use of the terms "Kansai" and "Kinki" have changed over history, in most modern contexts the use of the two terms is interchangeable. The urban region of Osaka, Kobe, and Kyoto (Keihanshin region) is the second-most populated in Japan after the Greater Tokyo Area.

The Rinku Premium Outlets are near Kansai Airport and offer considerable discounts on high-end Japanese and international brands at 210 stores. Outlets include Michael Kors, Gucci, Nike, and Seiko.
As mentioned in many posts, this place is one stop before Kansai airport if you are coming from Osaka city on the Nankai Express. I find the goods here are much cheaper than those shops selling in Osaka city. Got a great pair of Ascis shoes which is cheaper by around 4000 yen. Highly recommended if you have the time for shopping. There is also a place to store your luggage if you are catching a flight off Kansai airport after your shopping.

We bought the bus ticket online and was told to board at West gate of OCAT but without indicating the level. Went to the Tourist Information centre on 1st floor to check a day before and was told its on the opposite side which is West Exit. Not convinced, we went to OCAT information counter (1st floor) and the general information counter on 2nd floor to ask and they provided different locations. Finally was told the correct boarding location...which was on 2nd floor Gate 5. Please purchase the ticket early as some try their luck to pay the driver on the spot but the bus already full. Only 1 trip up and back. The outlet is big with many branded names and many eateries. Free wifi available. Hop onto the bus at 4 pm for return leg which was the correct move as we were able to put all our purchases in the bus vs carry along when in train. Overall a trip worth going as the bus journey is about 1.5 hrs from OCAT.
