Woke up early on the second day to prep for the trip to Sano outlet. Bus was at 9am or something and the walk to the bus station from hotel was about 20mins.

Link on how to get there
While at the bus station while waiting for the bus we walking around Takashimaya building and snap some pictures and boy oh boy I love the bikes there.
The trip to Sano took about an hour plus soo we spent most of our time sleeping on the bus, I had my riceball on the bus kimchi flavour. Joyce did her research so we just zoom in on the targeted brands like Coach, Nike, Adidas, Paul Frank, Disney,Gap….then follow by the rest.
Mistake number 1 : Dont think that 3-4 hrs is enough to shop here. The mall is rather big and also do note that you will need to queue for lunch at most F&B outlet soo dont take the 315pm bus back to town but the 7pm bus. If you are going to shop at Sano better spend the whole day there and getting there is not cheap and that the discounts on most items are really really good so dont miss it..never knew that Tokyo can be a shoppers haven at outlet malls.
Joyce got 2 Coach begs at 50% off normal retail and we verified the normal pricing at Narita duty free Coach outlet. Was even cheaper then her pink Coach bag which I got in Toronto.
We got there about 1020am and cleared all the targeted brands by lunch time and queued for 20mins for this particular Tonkatsu place..Tonkatsu Wako is highly recommended by Mika san and surely this is spot on.
Boy had the kids meal while we were floored by the many many different combo meals and settled for the couple’s meal. All the different tonkatsu tasted super!!! Even Ton Ton at central also cannot fight!!! After a meal at T Wako, you know that pork is heaven sent!!! When u die and at the gates of Heaven..St Peter will ask did you pork out at Wako?
After lunch we only had 1.5hrs to shop the rest which is not enough…sob sob I did not get to Baskin Robins and Crazy Crepes….Vans, Diesel, Next and Levis was a go in look see and come out….you must plan to stay there the whole day!!!!
Overall, I would say that Sano Outlet is a good place to shop and chill for the whole day.
Day 3 is Disney…
