When it comes to doing it right, Japan doesn't mess around. Check out our course on Tokyo www.brighttrip.com/courses?ut...
Convenience stores are a great place to grab a quick snack on the go, but out in the West they don't always have the best reputation. Head east and you'll discover this isn't the case. From full meals to high quality fresh foods, Driaan talks us through the history about how 7-Eleven in Japan has become the king of convenience.

7-Elevens in Japan are on a whole different level, especially the food choices. They're actually good!

The 7-Eleven in Japan is remarkable! For heavy luggages, you can drop it over there and have them mailed to airport, city or your next hotel for a fee. That saved a lot of hassle especially we saved check-in fee for budget airline and avoiding hoarding space inside tightly packed commuter train or metro.

Ugh yes 7-11 and Family Mart were our go to's in Japan. Seaweed flavored chips, pizza steamed buns, onigiri, chicken curry, that soup he talked about, and all the sweets. So good!! Also they all have wifi which is invaluable for a tourist. My favorite is the egg salad sandwich... how is the white bread so fluffy and the egg salad so creamy?

The closet two 7-11 near where I live is 1 minute walk and 3 minute walk. I like getting the chicken and both 7-11 have different food so it’s amazing.

What a fun and informative video. I'm glad my insights helped, and I've learned so many new things about 7/11 in the last 10 minutes! I loved hearing about the history, and I had no idea you could do so many errands like booking tickets. Next time I'm in Asia, I also have new snack ideas; yum!

I don't know why but there's something so appealing to 7-Elevens in East Asia that it urged me to continually watch videos of it, like the videos of Strictly Dumpling shown in this video.

Also, 7-Elevens in Japan allow you to do things like pay utility bills, buy tickets for transit and various entertainment events, and even do banking (7-Eleven Japan even have their own banking system operated through ATM machines inside the store).

I lived in KL, Malaysia and 7-Eleven was actually part of my daily life. I visited Japan and it was even better. Now I (sadly) live in Germany where shops close with sunset and Sundays are closed for religious purposes. One of the main reasons I'm preparing to move to Japan is for its convenient lifestyle!

love this, ive been to Lawson, Familymart (7-11 didnt really take on for a long time in Indonesia), it has all the great featurrs you mentioned except the spaces here are 3 times smaller, and barely have indoor seats in most of branches, so we have to sit outside these covinient store while enduring baking hot sun just to have lunch, o course this isnt popular. And most of locations are on busy streets instead of quiet residencial area, which give the impression that these stores are only for young, active city dwellers

Wait till you see 7-11 in Thailand. You can find it almost everywhere. They translate local dishes into cheap microwave meals for $1 (rice dish, burger, chicken, onigiri, sausage, tokbokki, buns, etc.) which they are selling 24 HRS a day. With COVID, they added a delivery service for free (or almost free in a remote area) so you don't even need to walk out of your house. They will keep expanding because the owner is also the richest guy in Thailand who owns almost every business through CP Group. They have a super large farming business, telecommunication, internet broadband, cable tv, , Lotus (Tesco), Makro (Costco), 12,000 branches of 7-11. Plus, they are the largest shareholder of the world's largest insurance company Ping An. They also own a property in the middle of Shanghai and opens a 7-storey mall. Fascinating how this guy is so powerful and yet no one can do anything about him. So what we do now is trying to ban 7-11 because they support the military dictatorship in Thailand.

I've been to Bangkok and I love how cheap the pork burgers are, I love that you can just microwave it there or at home. I missed 7-11s, I live in Indonesia and 7-11 went bankrupt because of the local convenience store chains but those microwave meals and slurpees are the best

How awful can convenience stores in America be for there to be this much excitement about the Japanese ones? Aside from the ticket buying everything sounds completely and utterly normal for me, and i live nowhere near East Asia.
