Going to outlets is definitely a must-visit place every time you visit Japan. On this trip to Kyushu, we went to Tosu TOSU Preimum Outlets in Saga Prefecture. From Fukuoka, you can take JR🚅 to "Torisu Station" and change to a bus🚍, which takes about 45 minutes. This time we drive 🚘 on a weekday, there are not many people, there is enough parking space. Tosu TOSU Preimum Outlets are built with exotic Spanish colonial-style architecture. "Tosu TOSU Preimum Outlets" has 170 more stores, Japanese, European and American brands have everything, you are sure to buy it. Tired of walking, hungry, and can go to the large foodcourt to sit, eat. #Japan-Korea City Attraction "Tosu TOSU Preimum Outlets"

Roadside Market is a food complex that suddenly opened in Saga in September. The concept is to combine the best of roadside stations, markets, and alleys, and you can visit as many of the six restaurants in the building as you like. I personally got so addicted to it that I went twice in September 😂 I went to all of them, and each one has its own merits. Below is a brief introduction to the restaurants ↓ ———————————————-——————————-—— ● "Jinbei" → A restaurant specializing in fresh tuna Recommended: Tuna with truffles ● "Sansuke" → An eel and beef rice restaurant Recommended Me: Grilled eel skewer with cheese ● "Kojima Shoten" → Yakitori restaurant Recommended: Beef skirt steak with spicy miso ● "Okinawa Kenmin Shokudo" → Okinawan cuisine Recommended: Homemade tamagoyaki ● "izumiya" → Liquor store Recommended: Read the instructions and choose what you like ● "Kougetsu" → Raw gyoza specialty store Recommended: Iron pot gyoza ———————————-———————————-———— Personally, it was great to buy a bottle at izumiya and go around drinking at each shop! You can also enjoy it leisurely on the terrace during the day! *All shops offer takeout, so it's also recommended for drinking at home It's really fun no matter how many times you go, so if you come to Tosu, please go! #retro cityscape #summer trip #gourmet trip #trip with kids

Tosu Station This JR Kyushu station is located in Kyomachi, Tosu City, Saga Prefecture, and is one of the oldest stations in Kyushu, having existed since the opening of the first Kyushu Railway. It is the only station in Kyushu where the Nagasaki Main Line and the Kagoshima Main Line intersect, so you can see express trains and trains on both the Nagasaki Main Line and the Kagoshima Main Line.

Ange Coco Anto, a Japanese sweets shop in Tosu that's incredibly popular. There's a private, hideaway-like room at the back of the shop. After you order, the staff will bring your sweets to you. This private room costs about 300 yen, but it's highly recommended as you can relax without worrying about others! You can use it for dessert if it's available. The small room is also air-conditioned, making it comfortable even during the hot weather. ☺️ I ordered the cake set.

We took a well-deserved break at Starbucks in Tosu Premium Outlets after a full morning of shopping, and it hit the spot perfectly. After weaving through rows of outlet stores, stepping into Starbucks felt like walking into a little pocket of calm. The space was cozy and clean, and even though it was quite busy, we managed to find a nice corner to sit and rest our feet. I ordered a hot latte—nothing fancy, just comforting—and it gave me the exact boost I needed to carry on. The staff were polite and efficient, and everything came out quickly despite the queue. What I appreciated most was how this branch really felt like a retreat within the bustling outlet. You could see other shoppers doing the same—unwinding, recharging, and enjoying a few quiet moments before diving back into retail therapy. If you’re shopping at Tosu Premium Outlets, definitely make time to pop into this Starbucks. It’s the perfect little reset button during a busy day. #summervacay #StarbucksTosu #TosuPremiumOutlets #CoffeeBreakJapan #ShopTillYouSip #SagaCafeStop #KyushuTravel #RetailTherapy #CoffeeAndChill #JapanCafeCulture #OutletsInJapan #japan #japantrip #kyushu #kyushutrip

📍Starbucks Tosu Premium Outlets 🕰️Business hours｜10:00-20:00 📫〒841-0005 Tosu City, Saga Prefecture, Yayoi Gago 8-1 Tosu Premium Outlet I was almost exhausted after shopping at the outlets⚡️I passed by Starbucks and decided to come in to recharge my energy. The environment is very clean and quiet. There are few people at night, so it is nice to sit and relax. 🍩The donuts look simple, but they are actually very sweet💥The crust is a bit crispy, and it feels like a solid bread when you bite it. It is really greasy to eat alone, and I really need coffee to suppress it. 🥤But I actually ordered a cup of "Hojicha & Kushik (Classic Tea Latte)", and it turned out to be sweet on top of sweet🫠I ordered this cup because of the recommendation of Cuishang, and I also added mousse milk foam, which looks very layered. When I drink it... well, it tastes like milk tea in a breakfast shop. The aroma of hojicha is not very obvious, just a friendly route. ⚖️The overall combination is a bit wrong, but it is still comfortable to take a break in the spacious Starbucks. I may change it to a less sweet combination next time😂 #日本星巴克 #托栖星巴克 #甜双甜组合 #早餐店奶茶風 #甜食爆裂 #星巴克限饮

Actually, before I left for Japan, I wanted to eat at this popular No.1 restaurant with a long queue. But on the second day of my trip, I accidentally found a Kanetara store at Tosu Premium Outlet, which had even fewer people queuing. I went to buy it and tried it immediately. It tasted better than the super thick fish tsukemen. The noodles were chewy and I kept putting them in my mouth. No wonder it is the most popular No.1. 😋😋😋👍👍👍👍

Many people will arrange Yanagawa and Dazaifu together Because you can use a one-day ticket But because my family and I went to Japan and wanted to go shopping at the outlets So I found that I could go to Tosu outlet on my way back to Yanagawa On the way back, you can go from Yanagawa to Nishitetsu Ogori Station and transfer to the outlet bus. It is recommended to go on Saturdays and Sundays as there will be more flights. But the time is relatively sparse, so you must calculate the time well On the way back, we took the bus directly back to Tenjin ***If you want to go directly back to Tenjin, you must queue up early*** #3月好去地方2025 #Fukuoka之旅 #trip #outlet #Transportation攻略 #NewYear好去地方2025

#newyearnewtrip I always love making a trip to an overseas premium outlet, because that would mean going on a shopping spree! You can get the best deal at an outlet, with famous premium brands all at a discount or a bargain. During my trip to fukuoka, I had tosu premium outlet in my itinerary and guys, this shopping area is huge and did not disappoint one bit. It is a little off from the city area, a drive of about 30 minutes will get you here at tosu premium outlet. The layout of this place is almost similar to those in America, do not expect it to be in a shopping mall. There are widespread of shops and you can find brands such as Polo Ralph, coach, adidas, Nike, Etro, north face and so much more. You can shop from day to night. It's also great that there are many dining options here, from a food court to fast food restaurants and cafes. Many resting spots can be seen if you need a break from all that shopping. Come to Tosu Premium Outlets, if you're in fukuoka. I had a great time shopping here!
