Starbucks' mermaid (siren) logo is often seen in office districts, department stores, shopping malls, and roadside locations.

It seems to be just as common as McDonald's.

Starbucks is the largest coffee chain in Japan, with 2,000 stores.

It opened in the summer of 1996 near the Matsuya department store in Tokyo's Ginza district.

The first Starbucks store

McDonald's also arrived in Japan in the summer of 1971, and its first store was also located in the Mitsukoshi department store in Ginza.
