Doujinshi spot sale "Comic Market 96" is being held in Ariake, Tokyo from August 9th to 13th. Comiket is crowded with many people every year, and the convenience stores in the area are grateful for hydration and nutrition. In the morning of the first day, I saw the assortment and congestion of each shop.

I visited the following 6 stores this time. I asked the shop staff to take a picture of the product.

・ Lawson International Exhibition Center Ekimae Store ・ Daily Yamazaki Koto Ariake 3-chome Store ・ Lawson Ariake Central Tower Store ・ Family Mart Ariake Frontier Store ・ 7-ELEVEN TFT Ariake Store ・ Ministop WANZA Ariake Store

Lawson International Exhibition Center Ekimae Store

Address: 3-7-2 Ariake, Koto-ku, Tokyo
How crowded: Extremely high (10 people or more, lined up in multiple rows) *

The Lawson International Exhibition Center Ekimae store is located just off the Rinkai Line International Exhibition Center Station, and has a wide selection of products for Comiket participants. There is also a big signboard of "Idol Master SideM" in front of the shop.


As for drinks, "Pocari Sweat" and "Red Bull" fill the shelves, and "in Jelly" is also full. Ice cream has a lot of "coolish". The product lineup is completely different from the usual convenience stores.




Except for ice cream and drinks, there were a lot of "Hiyaron" that you can get a cool feeling just by holding it.


It was the most crowded store around the venue because it was very convenient because it was in front of the station.

Daily Yamazaki Koto Ariake 3-chome store

Address: 3-7-11 Ariake, Koto-ku, Tokyo
How crowded: Medium (5 or more people line up) *

The Daily Yamazaki Koto Ariake 3-chome store is located at "Ariake Park Tower" on your left, going from the International Exhibition Center Station on the Rinkai Line to Tokyo Big Sight, the venue for Comiket. The entrance is a little difficult to understand, but there are also plenty of products for Comiket participants. Not to mention Pocari Sweat, Red Bull, and in Jelly, there were a lot of "Aquarius" with 1L. I also saw a rare "Dr. Pepper".


Ice cream is in a place where "Glyco Papico" is conspicuous. Other than ice cream and drinks, we also sell cold-feeling goods such as hyalons, folding chairs used for waiting, and seats.

Lawson Ariake Central Tower Store

Address: 3-7-18 Ariake, Koto-ku, Tokyo
How crowded: Low (you can buy without lining up) *

The Lawson Ariake Central Tower store is located in the "Ariake Central Tower" behind the "Ariake Park Tower" on your left, going from the Rinkai Line International Exhibition Center Station to the Tokyo Big Sight, which is the venue for Comiket.



A calm atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of Comiket. The store has the same product lineup as regular Lawson. Conversely, if you always want something you buy at Lawson, this one looks good. By the way, posters that welcome Comiket participants are also posted at this shop.

FamilyMart Ariake Frontier Store

Address: 3-7-26 Ariake, Koto-ku, Tokyo
How crowded: Medium (5 or more people line up) *

The Family Mart Ariake Frontier store is located in the "Ariake Frontier Building" on your right, going from the Rinkai Line International Exhibition Center Station to Tokyo Big Sight, the venue for Comiket.



This shop also has a complete lineup of products for Comiket participants. In addition to drinks and foods such as Pocari Sweat and in Jelly, "Lipovitan D" was abundant in places where it was conspicuous. The long and narrow "Sentan Popsicle" is eye-catching for ice cream.


In addition to drinks and ice cream, we also had a cooling sensation product, Hyalon, a sweat wipe sheet, a folding folding chair, a paper bag, and charging goods for smartphones.

7-ELEVEN TFT Ariake store

Address: 3-6-11 Ariake, Koto-ku, Tokyo
How crowded: Medium (5 or more people line up) *

The 7-ELEVEN TFT Ariake store is located at "Wanza Ariake Bay Mall (TFT Building)" behind the "Ariake Frontier Building" on your right, going from the Rinkai Line International Exhibition Center Station to Tokyo Big Sight, which is the venue for Comiket.



The inside of the store, which is full of products for Comiket participants, has an atmosphere of being ready for battle. We are announcing that there are no toilets available in the store and that Takkyubin is not available. There are a lot of ice creams such as "Coolish", but by the time of the morning it had already decreased considerably.


Drinks and food include in Jelly, Pocari Sweat, Aquarius, and iced coffee brewed in the 7-ELEVEN store.

Other than that, there are many paper bags, and as a measure against the heat, there are many cold-feeling goods, Hyalon and paper face wash.

Ministop WANZA Ariake store

Address: 3-6-11 Ariake, Koto-ku, Tokyo
How crowded: Low (you can buy without lining up) *

The Ministop WANZA Ariake store is located at "Wanza Ariake Bay Mall (TFT Building)" behind the "Ariake Frontier Building" on your right, going from the International Exhibition Center Station on the Rinkai Line to Tokyo Big Sight, which is the venue for Comiket. Located close to Tokyo Big Sight Station on the Yurikamome line.



This is an ordinary product lineup that is far from the liveliness of Comiket. Goods for Comiket participants are not so substantial. Conversely, you can always get drinks and ice cream that are sold at Ministop.

There are hundreds of thousands of people participating in Comiket, and the shops around it have a lot of drinks, ice cream, and heat-resistant goods, but they are selling at a fairly fast pace. If you have the products you need, you should get them in the morning as much as possible.

* The congestion of each store is when we visited around 10 o'clock on August 9th.
