Hi! My name is Hide!
This time the Japanese technology to introduce is “vending machine“!
There are vending machines everywhere in Japan.
There are vending machines for drinks, and even vending machines for taking pictures.
There are also vending machines in the station!
The right vending machine sells a variety of drinks.
Green tea, sports drink, energy drink, coffee, tea!
In addition, there are warm drinks too!
Surprisingly, there is corn soup.
The right side of the corn soup is miso soup.
You should come to Japan soon, because it is so convenient!
Payment in the way you like!
You can use electronic money and cash, so you can choose whatever you like.
Drinks are about 100 yen to 160 yen in price.
There is also a trash can!
Trash cans are installed in the narrow gap!
The city and the station are kept clean thanks to you!
We also have sweets and snacks!
Sweets and snack vending machines are still rare in Japan.
Select a product by pressing a button with a number written on it.
Vending machine to take pictures
In Japan, it is required to paste a photograph on the resume necessary for a job interview.
It is an unlikely story in America, but it is so in Japan.
That’s why in Japan we need a vending machine to take pictures.
Curtains are also attached so that the inside can not be seen from the outside.
A person can sit alone inside the vending machine.
Pictures taken with this vending machine can also be used for passport!
Cherry vending machines!
… It is normal drink to sell.
To attract attention, vending machines that embody Japanese cherry blossoms.
Besides this, there are vending machines of various exteriors in town. Let’s find it!
What is this building in the station?
This building named “KIOSK” is a store where sales person alone are doing business.
Therefore, it is not a vending machine accurately.
But I wanted to introduce this to you.
In this way, newspapers, magazines, sweets, snacks, drinks etc. are sold.
Besides “KIOSK”, a big Japanese station has a variety of small shops. Convenient!
Finally, a message from Hide
The station where this vending machine is installed is JR Ueno station in Tokyo.
Also at the other stations, there is one vending machine, so please check with yourself!
See you agein!
