The photos posted show an unmistakable Seicomart made of LEGO! Not just the exterior, but the interior is also intricately detailed. This model, with the store on the first floor and an eat-in space on the second, is based on the Seicomart Yamahana 9-jo store in Sapporo. Its accuracy is so high that even the official Seicomart account gave it their stamp of approval.

投稿ありがとうございます。
この2階が全面イートインの建物は「セイコーマート山鼻9条店」でしょうか?
何を言っているかわからない方ゴメンナサイ。
すごい再現力なので。https://t.co/MgOp5IPs5w
Here's a larger photo.
The number of parking spaces and the area near the entrance are faithfully reproduced. Even the white lines for parking look realistic! The atmosphere of the store interior visible through the windows is also just like the real thing.
Even the back room! The meticulously detailed interior
The high level of detail isn't limited to the exterior. Let's take a peek inside the store.
The second floor
There's a person relaxing in the eat-in space, gazing out the window. One of the fun things about LEGO is that you can place figures, not just build structures, allowing you to imagine the scene.
The cash register area
The bananas sold near the register are a sight that Hokkaido residents would find familiar. The staff's uniform has also been customized to Seicomart specifications.

In addition to the ice cream freezer and the refrigerated cases for drinks, the product shelves and even the back room are faithfully recreated.
The sign on the exterior wall
The creator of this LEGO Seicomart Yamahana 9-jo store is Setaka, an amateur LEGO builder. The Domingo editorial team spoke with Setaka about his passion for Seicomart and his history with LEGO.
