A Tokyo branch of the national convenience store chain Lawson is donating food that is past its sell-by time to a cafeteria that serves children from needy families. This addresses the issues of food loss and children going hungry due to poverty.

Seven-Eleven Japan and Lawson, two major convenience store chains, announced on Monday that they decided to stop selling adult magazines this summer ahead of the Rugby World Cup and Tokyo Olympics. The move is aimed at maintaining a positive impression of the country among foreign visitors.
