Getting Lost in Tokyo? Just Find a 7-Eleven
If you ever get lost in Tokyo, don’t panic. Just find a 7-Eleven not for directions, but because you might never want to leave. Forget everything you know about convenience stores. In Japan, 7-Eleven isn’t just a pit stop; it’s a portal to happiness, caffeine, and deep personal discovery.
You walk in thinking you’ll grab a bottled tea. Ten minutes later, you’re holding an armful of onigiri (that’s rice triangles, not origami), a perfectly soft egg sandwich that somehow tastes like cloud bread, and a slice of cheesecake that could win awards.
Then there’s the bento section beautifully arranged trays that make your homemade lunch look like a tragic science experiment. Even the cashier greets you like you’ve just arrived at a luxury spa.
Need cash? They’ve got an ATM that speaks five languages. Need Wi-Fi? Done. Need emotional support at 3 a.m.? Grab some matcha ice cream and stare at the drink fridge like a philosopher.
By the time you leave, you’ve spent ¥2,000, gained inner peace, and lost any desire to cook ever again. So no, you’re not lost in translation you’re just found in 7-Eleven.
