Japanese Vending Machines

In Japanese rest stops on highways, there are many different kinds of vending machines.

 

The most common vending machines sell hot or cold beverages.

My favorite ones are the coffee machines which make a hot cup of coffee in less than 30seconds!

 

There are more than 5,600,000 vending machines across Japan.

Most commonly, they sell drinks such as water, soda, juice, tea and coffee.

 

There are also machines that sell alcohol beverages, milk, apples, bananas, snow cones, uncooked rice, baked rice balls, bread, natto (fermented beans), spaghetti, ramen, noodles, eggs, fish bait, broth, hanko stamps, textbooks, cars, beetles, umbrellas, lucky charms, flowers, and everything else in between.

 

The latest one is a touch screen vending machine.

Here is a video which shows Japanese vending machines, "WAO✦RYU!TV ONLYinJAPAN #44"

If you see a vending machine, make sure you stop and see what's for sale.

You might be surprised!
