About
When you walk through the central concourse of Tokyo Station, you arrive at a place where travelers’ expectations and excitement intersect. There, you will find “Ekibenya Matsuri,” a shop lined with ekiben (station bento boxes) packed with flavors from all over Japan. This store offers an experience that feels as if you are traveling across the entire country.
Inside the shop, more than 150 types of ekiben, including seafood, sushi, and makunouchi bento, are displayed in a limited space. For travelers, being able to taste local specialties from various regions while still in Tokyo is an unparalleled delight. In particular, the “Tokyo Bento,” which features the flavors of eight long-established Tokyo shops, is a popular item available exclusively at Tokyo Station. (gltjp.com)
