Visit a Japanese convenience store near an active volcano.
In Kagoshima's Sakurajima, unique convenience stores feature subdued brown signage reflecting the active volcano's volcanic landscape.
So check this out: it’s a Lawson, but not like any you’ve seen before. If you ever find yourself in Kagoshima, make your way to Sakurajima, an active volcano that’s been cooking up eruptions for over a century. It's not just about those cherry blossoms; this place gives off a vibe that'll make you feel like you stepped back in time, surrounded by that rich, volcanic soil.
Now, when you hit up the convenience store scene here, don’t expect the usual bright Lawson signs. Instead, you get brown-and-white signage that perfectly blends into the earthy backdrop. And just a hop away is a Family Mart with a similar muted look! The good news? Inside, they’re still packing all your favorite snacks and drinks, just with a local twist. So if you’re in the area, don’t miss out on these totally unique spots. Kagoshima’s the real deal, especially with those secret hot springs waiting to be discovered!
