If you visit Japan, probably you see the machine like this:
This is a vending machine.
There are various things are sold by vending machine in Japan.
For example: beer, Japanese sake(Japanese alcohol), non-alcohol beverages, Snacks, Ice creams,
Even eggs and food (such as bread, udon or Japanese noodle which is made of plain flour) are also sold.
I’ll introduce some of them.
Most vending machines sell non-alcohol beverages (canned drink, plastic bottle drink).
How to buy is easy.
1. Insert coin.
2. In some vending machine, you can use 1000yen bill.
3. Usually red color is for hot beverages and blue color is for cold ones.
4. Select beverage and press the button.
5. Beverage you selected comes out here.
6. To get change usually you have to turn this lever.
7. Change comes out here.
We can pay in cell phones or in electric money in some machines.
To buy tobacco (cigarette) in vending machine you need taspo (an age vertification card).
Nowadays, the number of vending machine is decreasing gradually.
One of the reasons is that a lot of convenience stores, where we can buy various things until late at night or 24hours, are constructed.
But even then there are many types of vending machine in Japan.
In my opinion, if you come to Japan, checking them is interesting, too.
