Japanese Vending Machines

Huge gallery of vending machines that serve up anything you can imagine and probably some you can't.

Vending machines in Japan are as commonplace as temples, bicycles, and karaoke booths. It's not uncommon to see a street lined with a dozen or more machines selling products ranging from cold and hot drinks to flowers or rice. And almost none of these vending machines are vandalized or non-functional. According to the Vending Machine Manufacturers Association, Japan has one vending machine for every 23 people.

Hot and cold, beer and cigarettes, bags of rice and lingerie. Japan is unique.
