Japanese Vending Machines: Everything You Ever Needed and More.

Endless possibilities

Vending machines in Japan are amazing, you can buy just about anything you want from a vending machines. If its raining and you forgot your umbrella its ok there's a vending machine for that (maybe even an app but that is besides the point). Japanese vending machines are not only  technology advanced (touch screen) but they are cute as hell. Japanese like to think outside the box when creating their vending machines model. If you look at the picture on the left doesn't it just makes you want to buy a soda? Not only are Japanese vending machines alluring and eye catching they are quite convenient. It saves you from a hassle of waiting in line.

My personal favorite is the beer machine. I have faced the horror of going to the store just to find out they are closed or have stopped selling beer. If I were in Japan I would just go to a vending machine to buy a nice cold beer. I have already faced reality and come to terms of accepting the fact that such machines will never exist in America, especially since the sale of beer stops at 2am and begins at 5 am. I guess that allows enough time to sober up and buy some more beer. I am not a raging alcoholic but there are some nights were a cold beer in your hand is good company to appreciate after a long day at work or school. 

Drinking Vendors

A feature you will find amazing will be the hot and cold drinks. During the summer they provide cold drinks and during the winter they provide hot drinks; so you will be able to enjoy a drink that is perfect for the weather. 

The Importance of Change 

You may not be use to taking care of you change; you might be use to leaving it in the couch, carelessly dropping it on the floor or if you are nice enough you may give your change to a homeless person. The importance of change can be very useful when buying something in a vending machine. Every vending machine excepts coins but not all of them accept bills. Coins in Japan are actually lighter than American coins so carrying them wont be such a hassle carrying them . So saving your change will come in handy when you are buying something from a vending machine.
