駅弁屋は中央改札口の近くにございます。そちらの店舗が一番品揃えが豊富ですよ。
えきべんやはちゅうおうかいさつぐちのちかくにございます。そちらのてんぽがいちばんしなぞろえがほうふですよ。
There is an Ekiben shop near the central gate. That shop has the largest selection.
Gesture & etiquette
Politely point in the direction of the shop with an open palm.
Do not point with one finger; use an open palm to direct the person. Avoid speaking too quickly as station staff should be helpful and clear.
