Tsubame-Sanjo Factory Outlet Stockbusters (Tsubame Store)

This outlet store is based in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture, a town known as one of the world’s leading metalworking hubs. You can shop for great deals on metal products, plus household goods, outdoor gear, gardening items, and more.

Many of the items on display are clearance goods from excess stock due to model changes or discontinued lines, but every product is still high quality. With items made using Tsubame-Sanjo’s renowned craftsmanship sold at an incredible 50%–90% off, many people even come from outside the prefecture. In recent years, it has also gained attention as a sightseeing spot for buying directly from the production area, and it’s also a stop for tour buses.

The main items carried are kitchen goods, with many frying pans, pots, knives, and metal tumblers on display. In addition, there’s also a wide selection of outdoor gear such as tents and cooler boxes, as well as gardening scissors and more. In addition to the main Tsubame store, there is also a branch in Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture.
