"There are grocery stores everywhere. Finding a good grocery store within walking distance of your home is important. Also, people like to get food at convenience stores and those are on every corner," wrote a member who made the move to Tokyo, Japan.

"People living in Japan typically buy groceries and do other shopping at supermarkets, convenience stores, department stores, and specialty stores. Supermarkets offer a wide variety of food and other items, while convenience stores are great for quick purchases. Department stores are great for clothing, electronics, and other items, while specialty stores offer unique items that can't be found elsewhere," explained one expat living in Japan.
