1. not looking too “hidden” — there’s one in Kyoto too

2. [deleted]

3. “Hidden” yeah just tell us you can’t read Japanese, OP lol

4. There’s one just by Omiya Station in Saitama

5. They have this near Hakata too, except it isn’t hidden because there’s a big sign and it’s right in front of the registers

6. That is the best conbini whisky spread I have seen yet.

7. Osaka is the same, Nishitanabe station

8. This started a few years ago even before Covid. Nothing new

9. Pretty much every foreigner in a two mile radius of Shibuya knows about this place.

10. God.

    Those poor people working there already have to deal with drunks coming in for their “Fami-chiki.”

    Now those drunks stay.

11. Worst click bait ever

12. There is a sign saying “Bar” on the front. It’s in English, like this is a prime example of click bait. Next will be some equally inane stuff like “This vending machine has a secret payment method, your suica card!”

13. Not even remotely hidden, TimeOut really is trash these days.

14. They have one in Kyoto as well. I went once. The rule is you buy 1 snack item minium from the conbini but more if you want. Then you can use the bar area.

15. They also sell Alcohol and Tobacco, which is also part of their secret offerings, and totally not written on that large illuminated sign next to entrance.

    *wink wink*

16. I went there yesterday (sunday) at the stated time it was supposed to be open (15-23). It was closed. Or is it just on weekdays?
