Top 10 Things At Japanese Convenience Stores 🏪

[@AllisoninTokyo]

Hello my fellow convenience store lovers! If you didn't see, I'VE MADE A TWITTER ACCOUNT 😇 Follow me @AllisoninTokyo Anyways....which convenience store chain in Japan is your favorite (if you've been?) 👀

[@Chuck8541]

As you said, my fav is the one closest to me! :)

[@Snoooopy445]

Allison, you forgot about one of the most important things about a convenient store... paying your bills! I love that service.

[@AllisoninTokyo]

OMGGG HOW DID I FORGET THIS!!!!!!! 😂😭😭😭 ok everyone pretend this is in the video i am ashamed

[@blackburdy5261]

number one is the convenience, being able to buy something after midnight is amazing.

[@AllisoninTokyo]

haha yes 24 hours is great 😭

[@Chuck8541]

I love how they always have everything you need.

[@endlessteatime4733]

One of the best things at convenienve stores is the little melody that's played whenever you step into a famima lol!

[@Geogaddii]

Lawson ‘til I die honestly! Natural Lawson is sooo good. They always do the best anime campaigns too.

[@jerometsowinghuen]

That is exactly what I think about convenient stores. Not just convenient, but also we can buy food, cooked food, desserts, slurpees, drinks and magazines.

[@rosew1]

I loved the convenience stores, my favorite thing was egg salad sandwiches. Yum

[@elenakursteiner4729]

I love all stores ❤ There is always for everyone s test something available

[@danielwalker26]

No clue how I ended up here but I am glad to have found this channel.

[@ultimobile]

food - fresh onigiri (cold rice triangles you hold like a sandwich) where you unwrap the second plastic that keeps the dry crispy seaweed sheet apart from the moist rice - and then bite into the variety of pickle or whatever - are a special breakfast snack for cheap already - for lunch I sometimes grab a soba - with wasabi and soy - for a quick pick-me-up of noodles - and yeah - icecream or cakes - are always worth a browse

[@Its-Kat_]

Lawson has the best and biggest size of coffee and lattes; MEGA SIZE. It's a decent amount unlike all the other konbini's. Lawson is my favorite.

[@ebifried]

this makes me more excited to move to japan 😭🙈

[@dianebaker5243]

👍😁

[@yudokunahana345]

me 2, can’t wait !

[@takuup]

love your clock in the background. my eyes kept wandering to it

I can't help but feel like the real story behind those umbrellas is that there is a pervasive culture in japan where it's ok to use the free ones because you know they're cheap enough,, and you won't even know you need one until you're there at the free ones. So as long as it's one of those super cheap ones then it counts as a free one since it will break before it matters and as long as you regularly put them out then you make up the balance, and then when you're in a bind and there's some free one there, you'll be ok to take one for yourself! (just, if you are 100% confident you will need one on the way out, buy one, but if you might be ok without it, you can probably gamble on one of the frees)

[@Geogaddii]

I bought a really nice umbrella once, with a wooden handle and this nice nautical design on the umbrella material itself… it got pinched in less than 24 hours! I left it in the communal hallway of my *apartment building* overnight and someone pinched it! So after that I just use the cheap ones or take a foldable one that goes in my bag. By contrast I can leave my mobile phone in Shinjuku station toilets for 20 mins and go back and it’s still there. 😂

[@ultimobile]

services - all the machines in Japanese - what I've done is ask the attendant, ideally one key word - like 'Jibboolee ? (shrug - point to machine) - the staffer will go 'ah so!' - come over and do the whole tikecting thing on the machine for me, and I only have to choose the date/time - it's a beautiful thing.

[@h42cal31]

This was fun! Always jealous of all the seasonal treats. Where I am in Canada they never do anything special. It’s all sweets from the US and they never change. Every now and then you might get a different flavoured Aero bar lol

[@AllisoninTokyo]

good news, aero bars have infiltrated japan too 😂

[@LancerJak]

The one thing I miss the most when people ask me about Japan, I always say 7/11. 😅😂

[@ChrisWilliams5605LS]

Thank you. We are coming to Japan for the first time in October. We would not have known to pay for the coffee first before filling a cup.

[@dianebaker5243]

Love the sound of the Japanese convenience stores. Thanks for sharing 👍 🥰

[@AllisoninTokyo]

totally know what you mean 🥰

[@nannaff]

Convinience stores has really been my saviour after coming to Japan - I live in a sharehouse with 25+ people so space in the fridges and cabinets are really scarce, and it's just a hazzle to cook. Food is cheap here in Japan (compared to my home country), and incredible tasty, even most premade meals from your local convinience store. I haven't tried the coffee machines yet, but I have to try buying an ice latte from FamilyMart now lol! Thanks for the tip

[@gaiadove]

ATM is the most important for tourists… 7-11 ATM takes foreign cards as well as post offices. But it has operating hours… so take notice of times…

[@Cat1184]

I love convenience stores so much. The food and drinks are so good 😊 And next time I get the chance to visit Japan, I definitely have to explore them some more because the first time I was a little overwhelmed by everything. In Germany unfortunately we don’t have those kind of stores so I didn’t know what to look for. But thanks to your videos I’ve got a bit of an inspiration. So I guess the next time will be great 👍🏻

[@Busha69]

I dealt with the umbrella thingy by putting Evangelion washi tape around the handle. Never got my umbrella taken:,) The seasonal and limited edition items made me have a new hobby...it's my fave thing buying the limited editions of like, Haagen-dazs, Horoyoi and Country ma'am's :,) And I just love the fact, that summer is somehow a mint choco time.

[@MissKoi]

My clear umbrella actually got stolen from my hostel stand 😂😂 I got so confused at time, because I thought it's not so common 😅 I once got oden from lawson! It was so good, I didn't expect that at all🤤🍲

[@simchasepler1428]

I am very passionate about seasonal items so I will definitely look out for the stickers mentioned!

[@GayGeekOnline]

Just subscribed!!! Planning my first Japan trip and your videos are super helpful. Love your channel. Keep up the great work :D

[@feifei8152]

Binge watching your videos!! I love all videos so much!

[@nothatgxrl]

Heartbroken over Family Mart not winning the poll 😩 Also, this vid talking 10 things and being 10 mins 👌👌👌👌 absolute excellence.

[@AllisoninTokyo]

i knew 7/11 would win but im still sad too 😫 and ty 🥹 i tried 😂😂😂

[@MengLeeLim]

I just like the cup ice cream

[@Sfedai0]

I always thought even before experiencing combinis that the 7-11s and others in the US were complete trash. After coming back from Japan, the US stores are dead to me.

[@AllisoninTokyo]

i prefer not to acknowledge their existence 🫣

[@tsmspace]

hawaii's are pretty good

[@gunjirox7485]

My favorite is still the Kare-pan.

[@asuranrocks]

yay another video! and there will be a zhongli nendroid! congrats!

[@asuranrocks]

but imo 711's and famima's lattes can't beat lawson's

[@AllisoninTokyo]

i need geo daddy 😭

[@asuranrocks]

@@AllisoninTokyo go get him!

[@Na2Ocean]

I’ve never been to Lawson (or Japan 🤣) but I prefer Lawson 🐔

[@AllisoninTokyo]

lawson has the best looking signage 🧐

[@alltimecharlotte]

currently eating famima omurice whilst watching this video 😂

[@AllisoninTokyo]

big mood

[@BorksAreBorks]

zhongli and childe in the background 👀

[@nectarmf8715]

Hello, I just completed my junior year in high school and I want to teach English in Japan when I get older. I would like to get my undergraduates degree in Japan and would like to know of some Japanese universities that would allow me to take courses for ESL teaching, or any courses that would help me become a teacher. If you have any recommendations or just any schools in general please tell me, thank you.

[@lorrane2177]

My son teaches English in Japan. The first requirement was a 4 yr college degree/any subject. He did not need a TEFL degree to do so. He applied online with Aeon, ECC, and others. First interview was a Zoom type meeting. The second one was an in person group interview. You can find many KZbin videos on interviewing for this type of job. His first interview was with Aeon. He was quite nervous. I reminded him they are hiring you for your personality. What is the worse thing they could do to you, but tell you no. After in person interview there is a grammar, spelling test. So make sure you are a good student in English. After a backround check, review of your college credentials, and employers, you will be notified that you are hired. He did not apply for the Jet program(he missed the hiring date). Really look into the school you'd like to work for. Jet, Aeon and ECC pay more and have more benefits than others(such as paying for your health care, transportation). When looking into which company you'd like to work for, Check out their website and compare what they offer. Some require you to sell study material and books. Some will subsidize rent. Some companies will have a furnished small apt ready for you. My son had a small furnished apt waiting. He just paid the deposit and first month rent. Be careful for the ones that don't(you will have to pay a lot to get into this type of apt and can take a few days to find one). Lots of info on the internet. Just be prepared to be open to new experiences. Be prepared, bring extra money, and more work clothes, shoes than suggested. Best of luck.

[@nectarmf8715]

@@lorrane2177 Thank you for this, I am going to talk with my dad about it today. I have been a bit scared to tell him, but after reading through this and seeing how much you care for your son has given me confidence. He will be a bit confused at first because I’ve never really told him that I was interested in teaching and also living outside America. I just hope we can find and equal ground and somehow get me into a career that allows me to teach English in Japan. Thank you for replying and have a good day. 😁

[@ghostbird3651]

Natural lawson all the wayyy

[@AllisoninTokyo]

ok so true 😂😂🙌

[@lisabiesterfeld9925]

I wish we had such a nice selection of things at our corner stores ..so.etimes I just don't want to e nter the grocery stores😟

[@AllisoninTokyo]

[@deepanshusharma5373]

Hey miss can you help me I am from India and I have a 3 year bachelor degree I am eligible or not for ALT I DIDN'T find any information about jet program India. Help me!

[@lorrane2177]

[@Bernsa12]
