I’ve seen Manuka honey sold in Lopia, which is a normal supermarket, so I assume it’s easy to find elsewhere. They also have it in iHerb, along with other options.
Try a supermarket rather than a convenience store.
There’s a pretty robust local honey scene wherever you go in the country. I suppose Tokyo is a little harder for production but I’m sure the surrounding areas and probably places from all over the country send their products in to specialty shops in the city.
Edit: Costco also sells imported honey in three packs. It’s a lot of honey to work through, but it’s comparatively cheap, and as I recall the label says it’s clover honey.
Where in Tokyo? Here in Setagaya there are a few honey specialty shops that have many varieties. [Here](https://goo.gl/maps/dCWBeR4K5BpwPgQk7)’s one: 〒156-0051 東京都世田谷区宮坂１丁目１４−8, and this is the Website: [https://yamatohachimitsu.com/](https://yamatohachimitsu.com/).

This seems like a post about shopping, maybe your question is solved by [the wiki page](https://www.reddit.com/r/japanlife/wiki/shopping)?

Online ordering via rakuten:

Amazon probably sells it too.
For search term I just used 地蜜
