CULTURAL NOTE Konbini “Convenience Store”

Convenience stores are everywhere in Japan and truly convenient. You can find
a large range of hot and cold meals, snacks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic
beverages, and other goods for sale 24 hours a day seven days a week.
Convenience stores are known for the high quality of their food. They also offer
services such as ATM access, copying, faxing, digital photo developing, ticket

reservations, bill pay, and delivery drop-off/pick-up. Many convenience stores
also offer a small eat-in area, a clean restroom, and Wi-Fi service free of charge.
However, make sure you buy a little something as a courtesy to the store, when
you use Wi-Fi or the toilet.
Some convenience stores do not accept credit cards unless your purchase

exceeds a certain amount. However, they accept digital train fare passes such as
“Suica” and “PASMO”. These digital cards can be purchased from vending
machines and pre-loaded and re-loaded as needed.
