It is quite special to see this kind of bonded store in such an occasion as a railway station.
I feel that the price is still relatively affordable, and then it is exactly what girls need, such as snacks, skin care products, and daily maintenance products. There are still quite a lot.
I just thought it was novel and came around, and then it happened to be a festival again today. If I want to see something suitable, I will buy some if there is an event in the opening.
