He has been part of the popular culture of Japanese cities since the 1970s: the Konbini. This one-stop shop, which is usually open 24 hours, is something like the local supplier for the most important things to do in everyday life. There is quick food and drink here, you can fix cash, buy tickets, pick up packages and print out something. The name is not original Japanese, but derives from the English term convenience store. The small shops simplify the lives of many residents, but also the tourists who get everything from the SIM card to the forgotten toothbrush.
