Retailers in the outlet zone will range from international fashion and sportswear brands to outdoor gear, kids' stores, and pet-related boutiques. The complex will also offer childcare services and family-friendly amenities such as a central kids' zone and an indoor play area.
OKAZAKI MARKET will focus on local cuisine and regional products, with a 4,000㎡ open plaza at its core. The area will host a dog run, children's play space, and an event stage, reinforcing the development's role as a local lifestyle destination. Vendors will include leading Aichi-based shops such as Saijoen's matcha café, and long-established food retailers like Yamasa Chikuwa and Unagi Mikawa Sansuitei.
Located within walking distance of Meitetsu's Honjuku Station, the development offers convenient access to major roads including National Route 1, the Shin-Tomei Expressway (Okazaki Higashi IC), and the Tomei Expressway (Otowa-Gamagori IC). The location has been designed to attract not only local residents, but also visitors from surrounding prefectures.
With its mix of international brands, regional cuisine, family-friendly design, and easy access, Mitsui Outlet Park Okazaki is set to become a new commercial and cultural hub for the region when it opens in November 2025.
