A day in the life of a Japanese Retail Apparel Store Worker. From her morning routine to closing time, you’ll see the daily working schedule, customer service style, and work culture that make Japanese retail so unique. Japanese work culture values punctuality, dedication, and professionalism. In retail, employees are expected to maintain a perfect balance — never too pushy, never too withdrawn — while being ready to assist customers at any moment. Staff undergo formal training in customer service etiquette, reflecting Japan’s deep cultural respect for others. Rinka arrives before opening to prepare the store, assist customers throughout the day, and handles the behind-the-scenes tasks like restocking. This dedication is part of what makes Japan’s service industry world-renowned. Rinka works as a sales associate at and ST TOKYO, the flagship clothing retail store right in front of Harajuku Station. From her morning routine to closing time, you’ll see the daily rhythm, customer service style, and work culture that make Japanese retail so unique.

I'm from TOKYO JAPAN, I've been living here for a long time. I'll be your Tokyo Travel Guide, taking you to the spots I love as well as showing you what to do all around Japan and maybe sometimes overseas. I'm also into Tech so you'll see a few videos about my drone and other cool toys I discover. In short, the channel is all about what I Love, Japan, Food, Travel, Tech and most likely coming FROM-TOKYO, my home.
