This actually happens in Japan, and until now I assumed it was not advertising.

I would translate it as "turn at the next left; where there is a ______."

The ______ is often a convenience store. hmmmm!



The flipside though is that Japanese urban planning doesn’t use street names the way American/European countries do and literally the only marker is the local konbini at the corner.

And turn at the corner 2-chome 4-ban 5-gou isn’t a helpful thing either.
