Walmart Japan operates under the name Seiyu. Walmart first invested in the supermarket chain Seiyu in 2002 and officially acquired it in 2008.

The stores are huge, and many locations are open for 24 hours. Like Walmart in the US, the stores can often be found in strip malls.

The stores are generally very well maintained and spotlessly clean. The stores sell a lot of American brands, like Coca-Cola and Disney.

The produce department of the store is very similar to its US equivalent, and some of the signs are written in English. Even the color scheme of the store is very similar to the US version.

Shelves are typically fully stocked at all times.

And the stores often have arcade games, like this claw machine.

Many Walmart stores in the US have similar machines as well.
