Matsumoto Kiyoshi - A Convenient Drugstore with Reliable Services
Matsumoto Kiyoshi (Matsukiyo) is a drugstore loved not only by the Japanese but also by visitors to Japan.
With roughly fifteen hundred stores located throughout Japan, Matsumoto Kiyoshi has everything from cosmetics and medicine all the way up to daily necessities and food products, all at reasonable prices. It's also your go-to spot when looking for good quality souvenirs.
However Matsukiyo is not just a place just for shopping. It's also a convenient place where shop staff can assist you if you're in a pinch!
During those times when a situation catches you off guard and leaves you wondering what to do, you can always count on Matsumoto Kiyoshi. In today's article, we'll tell you more about their services.
The Staff Can Assist You in English and Chinese
During your trip, you may have faced a type of weather you're not used to or may have had to eat unfamiliar food, and as a result, you might have suddenly gotten sick. But even if you buy medicine, the explanations on the package is all in Japanese.
Buying medicine in a different country can make you feel a bit uneasy. At times like this, we recommend going to Matsumoto Kiyoshi!
At some Matsukiyo store locations, English and Chinese-speaking staff are available, so they can explain such things as the effects of a medicine and also how to take it.
In the areas of Tokyo that are often frequented by visitors, such as Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro and Ginza, and in the Shinsaibashi area of Osaka, the staff at Matsumoto Kiyoshi stores can often speak English and Chinese, and in some cases even Korean.
As a result you should be able to choose the right medicine without any worries.
Of course, the staff who speaks your language will also be more than happy to direct you to that souvenir you were thinking of buying, and give you details about the cosmetics you're interested in. It's almost like being in your own country, so by all means don't hesitate to ask!
At Matsumoto Kiyoshi, you can be served in your own language. If you should have any health concerns during your visit here in Japan, give Matsumoto Kiyoshi a try.
Convenient Wi-Fi Access: No Pre-Registration Required!
One of the biggest concerns among visitors to Japan is the lack of free Wi-Fi spots. Many shopping places and cafes are without free Wi-Fi, so visitors are unable to look up information from where they are.
But Matsumoto Kiyoshi has solved that problem as well! The Matsumoto Kiyoshi stores in Japan's main cities all have free Wi-Fi access, and no prior registration is required.
Of course, the Matsumoto Kiyoshi stores where international visitors often shop at, such as Shibuya Part 1 Shop (regular distributor shop for SK-II cosmetics), Shinjuku-Sanchome Store, Ikebukuro Part 2 Shop, Ginza 5th Shop, and the Shinsaibashi Store in Osaka, all have free Wi-Fi.
Getting connected is simple. First select the access point, Matsukiyo_Free_WiFi, and Matsukiyo's website will automatically appear. Then you'll be able to hook up to the internet. After reading the "Terms of Use", touch the "I agree" button, and then you're all done.
When you need to look up how to get to your destination or find the meaning of a Japanese word, but you can't find a Wi-Fi spot, head to your nearest Matsukiyo! Also when you can't remember the name of a product you want to buy for a souvenir, this is a convenient place to look it up on your device.
