One of my favorite coffee shops in Tokyo is Tully's, which is a five-minute walk from my hotel of choice, the Hotel Asia Center of Japan.
An article in RocketNews24 caught my attention, not because it is about a new Tully's that is opening in April 2014 in Tottori Prefecture, but from one paragraph on the number of Tully's coffee shops in Japan.
They wrote:
Tully’s, which began in Seattle just like its more famous competitor, currently has 513 stores across Japan and if everything goes according to plan, the new store will open in April 2014. The floor space of the new Tully’s measures in at 20 square metres and looks set to be the perfect place for anyone to unwind.Tottori Prefecture is the least-populated prefecture in Japan, so the opening of a Tully's there is big news.
When I was in Niigata in 2010, I did not see a Starbucks there, but there was a Tully's coffee shop near the JR Niigata Station, which served my coffee needs.
