JAPAN CONVENIENCE STORES – A Conbini Guide at Lawson 100 Yen Store! – Japan’s Conbinis (or Konbinis) are amazing! Family Mart, 7/11, Lawson and others provide an easy option to living on a budget in Japan.
But is Japan a budget backpacker destination? In this video I set out to prove that you don’t just need to go to Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Australia as a budget backpacker. Japan is ideal if you are prepared to shop at Lawson 100, Japan’s 100 Yen store (Dollar stores/Pound Shops), located in cities like Tokyo and Osaka.
Living on a budget in Japan is possible! In this video I show you how you can survive on a basic budget of 1,000 Yen per week (about $10 USD). Thanks to one of my viewers, Rodd Roddy for suggesting I make this video!

This is really the episode that i like. This is beyond my thinking. Thanks for sharing information to be a good traveler, and being able to stay on holiday with my often unexpected financials. Thx david paul barkham ☺️☺️☺️☺️
Hello everyone!
Have you checked out Lawson 100 in Japan? Are you a budget backpacker looking to visit somewhere that isn't full of 19 year old drunken backpackers but still survive on a budget? Come to Japan!
Don't forget to check out my other conbini video!!
Lawson 100 is the best!! We had so much fun exploring in there and picking things to purchase! You sure have gone super basic but it's really neat how you've shown off that Japan doesn't have to be as expensive as people think and that it totally is possible to visit and not spend stupid amounts of money. Love the video as always! – Thomas and Sheena 😀
God I love your videos! Love how u explain things and youre straight to the point too. Cant wait for more! 😀
Got to love the dollar store aka 100 Yen store. I know the first place i'm headed when I hit up Japan next year!
awesome video glad you did a video on Lawson 100 , thanks for the shout out … hope you are having great time !! Can't wait to see your next video adventure in a different country
Great vlog mate! Loved the concept and the breakdown of showing just how cheap it can be here in Japan. ( I am surprised they let you film inside though) lol Keep up the great vlogs!
nice one,,amazingly good food at all the convenience stores
Missing Japan! Thanks for making this video. The convenience stores are so special in Nippon. 🙂
8:10 nice trousers
Really enjoyed this I've always been worried that Japan was out of my budget!
Really good video mate, great to see where you can buy good cheap food from! Because I personally would be going there quite often, I may even become there number 1 customer! 😉
nice intro. FYI your forehead is too wrinkly.
Great video thank you so much
You can call onigiri for rice ball too.
We used to live of 1500 yen a week for two people from Lawson 100 and Daiso, it is doable but you will loose a lot of weight…
That song was catchy.
One thing i love in the first world is ziplock bags of peeled boiled eggs at grocery stores.
Height of laziness and. I. Don't. Care.
Very useful information, i can get everything about konbini from your videos 😍
Isn’t pasta same as ramen
I do love Japanese convenience stores. I've been to two Chains, Family-Mart and Lawson.
Want easter eggs? If you go between the corner of Lawson and a random building, you'll find a path where it leads you to the other world.
I couldn't tell if you said butt packer or back packer at first
lawson 100 yen store have many store in japan you can check google map first which one near you place.daiso,300 yen store,and lawson 100 is heaven😂.don quijote or donki is good place but be careful. ofc more expensive but good quality.for foreigner you should try to go in shibamata is quiet place and theres hostel who's called shibamata futen.usually many foreigner stay here but always crowded so please kindly check your date first before you go😂
PUBLIC COMPLAINT. IN KAWASAKI EXACTLY BY SAKAI KU. THERE IS ONE OF THESE PREMISES WHERE AN UNPLEASANT OLD WOMAN WORKS. ONE IS GOING TO BUY SOMETHING AND THE CUSTOMER'S RESPECT IS ALWAYS LACK, EITHER WITH GESTURES OR ADEFETIC SKILL. ANTI-HYGIENIC BUSINESSES THAT HAVE TO BE CLOSED
