Hello, and welcome to The Konbini Insider.
I have worked in Japanese convenience stores for over 30 years, including as a store owner.
Currently, I work at a convenience store in Tokyo where many international customers visit every day.
Through this blog, I share real insights about Japanese convenience stores — not just what customers see, but how things actually work behind the scenes.
My goal is to help visitors understand Japan better and avoid confusion when using convenience stores.
Thank you for reading.
