The Nasu Highland has long been known as a popular summer resort and has been loved by many writers and artists throughout history. Nasu Garden Outlet incorporates a design that harmonizes with this beautiful landscape to ensure the natural scenery is preserved. By respecting the local environment while providing a modern shopping experience, this facility serves as an important hub for boosting tourism in the Nasu area.
The greatest highlight is the sophisticated shop designs and the beautiful scenery they create.

Taking a break from shopping to enjoy gourmet food and sweets made with local ingredients is another essential way to enjoy your visit.
The best time to experience the beautiful nature of Nasu is during spring (April and May) when the fresh greenery is stunning, or in autumn when the foliage is vibrant. Spring is particularly pleasant for shopping as you can enjoy the shopping experience alongside a refreshing breeze. While you can enjoy the bright, open atmosphere during the day, the mood becomes more tranquil toward the evening. Please note that closing times may vary depending on the season, so it is wise to check in advance.
Beyond shopping, the surrounding area offers various activities. For example, you can enjoy cycling through nature at the nearby "Ride Experience." You can also enjoy active experiences like the "Gyro Ride Park" for personal mobility. Within the outlet itself, you can enjoy a rich culinary experience by tasting local flavors and delicacies during your shopping breaks, allowing you to touch the culture of Nasu through food.
There are many diverse sightseeing spots scattered around Nasu Garden Outlet. These include "Ride Experience" for feeling close to nature, "Gyro Ride Park" for family fun, and "Michi-no-Eki Yunoka Shiobara," which offers fresh local vegetables and gourmet food. You can also visit the nearby "Momijidani Grand Suspension Bridge" to enjoy beautiful views, allowing you to create a fulfilling travel plan that combines shopping with sightseeing.
Since the premises are vast and you will be walking outdoors frequently, we recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes. As temperatures can fluctuate significantly depending on the season, it is wise to bring a light jacket or layers for temperature adjustment. Regarding payment, please check with each individual shop as policies vary. The facility is designed with accessibility in mind, including wheelchair-friendly paths and facilities, but we recommend planning your schedule according to your physical pace due to the large walking distances.
