Outlet Shopping in Hokkaido

Found 2 outlets in Sapporo.. Mitsui and Sapporo Factory... Just want to explore one.. With too much shopping I might not be able to lug back home.. I am wondering which is worth going?

There was a big outlet "village" close by Chitose airport (when we were last there, which was 5-10 years ago).

If you're flying out of Hokkaido, that might be an easy option for you? We didn't seek it out. It was right by the place that we had to go to return the rental car and we had a couple of hours to kill, so we went there for lunch and I bought some cheap trainers and a watch, IIRC.

I think tats the mitsui outlet from what I see on the map. I need to fly out to Narita to catch a flight back home so I am leaving Hokkaido quite early :(

This is the place by New Chitose Airport that Pinkitty was referring to. It's about 30 mins from Sapporo by train.

Thats the place I mean.
It's your average/large outlet place. I'm not such a keen shopper, especially when on holiday, so I can't really comment on whether it's worth a detour.
I found it useful because my watch had broken and my trainers were getting worn out and we had a couple of hours to kill before flying home and we'd already seen Chitose town on arrival, and we had to drop off the hire car right nearby.
It was useful to pick up some stuff that I'd have had to buy at some point soon, and to have lunch.
I wouldn't have made a detour to get there, though.

Sorry. I meant Winter Visitor, not Pinkitty. I went to that place last year (I was changing trains at the nearby station), but all I bought was some takoyaki at the food court. It was very nice takoyaki, though.

Hi everyone, thanks for the suggestion... since my plans are still quite fluid... maybe I can work that in.

No problem. Now, takoyaki....mmmmmmmmmmmmm ;0)
