context_section_description: Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Japan operates 45 shops throughout the country as of September 2016. Krispy Kreme opened their first store in Japan at Shinjuku Southern Terrace in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo on Friday 15 December 2006. The original glaze sells for 160 Japanese yen. Plans are in place to build around 50 stores in the Kantō region (which will all be franchise owned) in the next five years. 
  Since opening, the store has seen hour long waits to get in, and in the first three days the store saw more than 10,000 customers.
  In the event of a long wait, this location is known for providing a free hot glazed donut to patrons waiting in the queue.
  The second store in Japan opened 12 October 2007 with the Yurakucho ITOCiA complex in the Yūrakuchō district in Tokyo.  The Krispy Kreme store is located on the first basement level and is expected to be a major draw for the new shopping center which is built on top of the Yurakucho station.
