Japan has the highest number of 7-Eleven locations in the world, as of the company's 85,000+ stores around the globe, 21,668 stores (nearly 25% of global stores) are in Japan,<ref>{{Citation | type = company corporate information | url = http://www.sej.co.jp/company/en/g_stores.html | title = 7–11 around the world | date = June 30, 2018 | publisher = SEJ | place = [[Japan|JP]] | access-date = May 26, 2012 | archive-date = November 30, 2012 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20121130223007/http://www.sej.co.jp/company/en/g_stores.html | url-status = live}}</ref> with 2,824 stores in Tokyo alone.<ref>{{Citation | type = company corporate information | url = http://www.sej.co.jp/company/en/n_stores.html | title = Number of Stores in each administrative division | date = July 31, 2018 | publisher = SEJ | place = JP | access-date = December 28, 2012 | archive-date = November 13, 2012 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20121113230335/http://www.sej.co.jp/company/en/n_stores.html | url-status = live}}</ref> Japanese 7-Eleven stores often bear the name of its holding company [[Seven & I Holdings]]—in fact, Seven & I's subsidiary [[Seven-Eleven Japan]], the master franchisee for Japan, is the direct parent company of 7-Eleven, Inc. On September 1, 2005, Seven & i Holdings Co., Ltd., a new holding company, became the parent company of 7-Eleven, [[Ito-Yokado]], and [[Denny's]] Japan.

{{as of|July 2019}}, 7-Eleven has stores in all 47 prefectures of Japan with the opening of 14 new locations in Okinawa Prefecture.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.okinawa.org/blog/seven-eleven-opening-at-7-a-m-on-7-11-2019.51/|title=Seven-Eleven Opening at 7&nbsp;am.

The aesthetics of the store are somewhat different from that of 7-Eleven stores in other countries as the stores offer a wider selection of products and services. 7-Eleven stores in Japan are also popular among tourists from other countries, as the [[Seven Bank]] [[automated teller machine]]s at branches will accept foreign [[Debit card|debit]] and [[credit card]]s for withdrawing cash in Japanese yen.<ref>{{cite web |title=You can withdraw Japanese yen from ATMs at 7-Eleven stores |url=https://www.sevenbank.co.jp/intlcard/index2.html |website=[[Seven Bank]] Ltd. |access-date=September 21, 2019 |archive-date=May 7, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190507180153/https://www.sevenbank.co.jp/intlcard/index2.html |url-status=live}}</ref>

Following the example of other convenience stores in Japan, 7-Eleven has solar panels and LEDs installed in about 1,400 of its stores.<ref>{{Citation | newspaper = Tokyo Weekender | url = http://www.tokyoweekender.com/2012/05/solar-convenience-stores/ | title = Solar Convenience Stores | date = May 9, 2012 | access-date = September 26, 2012 | archive-date = September 26, 2012 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120926030353/http://www.tokyoweekender.com/2012/05/solar-convenience-stores/ | url-status = live}}</ref>

In July 2019, 7-Eleven launched then almost immediately suspended a mobile payment service, 7pay.  The service was hacked upon launch, and attackers were able to spend money from affected customers' accounts.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2019/07/04/business/corporate-business/users-7-elevens-mobile-payment-service-lose-total-%c2%a555-million-900-accounts-hacked/|title=Users of 7-Eleven's mobile payment service lose total of ¥55 million after 900 accounts hacked|date=July 4, 2019|website=The Japan Times|access-date=May 22, 2021|archive-date=May 22, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210522122746/https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2019/07/04/business/corporate-business/users-7-elevens-mobile-payment-service-lose-total-%C2%A555-million-900-accounts-hacked/|url-status=live}}</ref>
