One of the most famous Lawson stores is located in Kawaguchiko

What do you think of when you hear the name “LAWSON”?
Most people would link the name with the image of a white milk can place on a blue background.
LAWSON is one of Japan’s three largest convenience store chains, boasting approximately 15,000 stores throughout the country.
LAWSON originated in the United States and was founded by J.J. Lawson, a dairy farmer who was looking to open a shop to sell his goods. Later, the store started selling not only dairy products but everyday commodities, which eventually lead it to become the convenience store chain we know and love today.

After its humble beginnings as a small dairy in the US, Lawson opened its first Japanese store in Sakurazuka, Osaka. Now, Lawson has evolved from just an average convenience store to create a variety of shops to suit the various needs and ever-changing market of customers, such as NATURAL LAWSON and LAWSON STORE 100.

NATURAL LAWSON differs from your average Lawson store in that it caters to people who value health and beauty, supplying eco-friendly products using only the freshest ingredients. LAWSON STORE 100, on the other hand, is like a small supermarket stocked full of fresh food items, vegetables, and other everyday necessities.

LAWSON stores offer a variety of services to accommodate the various needs of customers. One of the biggest worries for people these days is “what if my cell phone battery dies!?” But worry not! This is the perfect time to make use of Lawson’s mobile battery rental service, “Mobile Battery Share”. You can also rent bicycles from certain stores in Tokyo, Fukuoka, Osaka to make traveling around Japan a little easier.

LAWSON has plenty of products to choose from, but their sweets can’t be beat! Lawson’s sweets brand, “Uchi Cafe”, boasts new product releases each week, new flavors of existing favorites, and limited-time collaborations with various brands. Lawson’s collaboration sweets with famous chocolate brand Godiva are always super popular. With product collaborations with famous Japanese cheese tart maker PABLO and Snoopy-themed Japanese sweets, you can tell Lawson is dedicated to providing a high-quality convenience store treat experience. Natural Lawson’s sweets brand line up is a great option for those who are health-conscious or just looking for a simple snack.

Not only can travelers access free Wi-Fi at LAWSON, but they can also use ATMs to withdraw money from foreign cash cards and credit cards in Japanese yen. Some stores even have currency exchange services and provide duty-free shopping. You can also use Lawson’s “Loppi” machines to buy transportation, theme park, concert, and movie tickets.

LAWSON isn’t just your average convenience store. The chain has a variety of stores offering products and services that go above and beyond the needs of the people who live nearby. There are plenty of unique stores, such as, a book store and laundromat fusion store, Kanagawa’s Shukugawara Station store that sells popular character goods in collaboration with Kawasaki’s Fujiko F Fujio Museum, and Hyogo’s Nishinomiya Koshien 9-bancho store and its collaboration with Japanese pro baseball team, the Hanshin Tigers. Currently there are 4 Hanshin Tigers themed stores near Koshien stadium.

Finally, one of the most popular Lawson is located in Kawaguchiko. It’s popular because you can see Mount Fuji behind it.

LAWSON is always striving hard to provide customer satisfaction through it’s innovative approach.

This time I wrote a blog about Lawson, but

visiting a convenience store with an Made In Japan (MIJ) escort and choosing your favorite drink or buying some sweets would also be an experience.
