unmanned store; automated shop
Refers to a retail location without on-site staff, often using technology for self-service. Common in contexts like vending machine corners, self-checkout shops, or fully automated convenience stores.
Recently, unmanned stores have been increasing in front of the station.
This automated shop is open 24 hours, and all payments are cashless.
Compound of 無人 (むじん, 'unmanned') and 店舗 (てんぽ, 'store'). The term became more common with the rise of automation and cashless payment systems.
