Konbini (コンビニ short for konbiniensu sutoa) in Japan, there's so much you can do!
There are about 50,000 Konbini stores in Japan. Popular konbini stores like Lawson, Family Mart, Mini stop, and 7 Eleven are literally EVERYWHERE. You see them every 5m on one street or two shops facing to each other on a small street!

How convenient? Inside the shop, there are a large selection of products,starting from the magazines where always people stay and read without buying them.

You can get household cleaning stuff, stationaries to some fresh veggies and meats, and of course, ready to eat meals.

You can also pay your utility bills, tax, also concert tickets! Need to deliver something? They also offer delivery service.

Short on cash? Some konbini stores take credit cards. At 7 Eleven you can withdraw cash.

There is almost nothing you cannot find in Japanese convenience stores.
Most convenience stores are open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
Japanese konbini stores are truly convenient!
