It's definitely hyped up, but the Shinokubo 7-Eleven is pretty insane at night. Forget your average convenience store fare. Think rows and rows of onigiri, bento boxes still steaming slightly, and a crazy selection of weird and wonderful drinks – I'm talking about stuff you won't find anywhere else. At 2 AM you'll probably find some things are already sold out, so maybe grab something you've never seen before, as a souvenir of sorts. Don't sleep on the ice cream selection either; they have some seriously unique flavors. The ramen run is a good plan, but don't fill up too much beforehand! You'll want room for at least one of those crazy onigiri.

Wow, that 7-Eleven sounds epic! Definitely adding that to the list. Never thought a convenience store could be a destination, but that selection sounds incredible. Sold out stuff at 2 AM? That’s almost a challenge now. And the ice cream… I’m already picturing myself trying some bizarre flavour. Thanks for the heads-up!
