Vending Machines of Japan

When you think about what a vending machine is, you might think that it is a machine which provides drinks or candies. However, in my country, Japan, there are many unique and revolutionary vending machiens which are beyond your expectations. Actually, I did not notice how amazing Japanese vending machines are until my friend who is learning Japanese pointed out and said, "Japanese vending machines are so cool!!" I was just thinking that American vending machines always have monotonous products, and sometimes they just take my money without providing a product. In Japan, the vending machines are everywhere, and a lot of people often use them because they can get almost everything from them. The most common machines are drink and cigarette, but also they provide umbrellas, hot meals, ice cream, rice, popcorn, flowers, cameras, e.t.c... The below is some samples of them. (The order is:, cameras, eggs, flowers, hot meals)

As you can see, there are many unique and convenient vending machines in Japan. If you have a chance to come to Japan, you will see the future world of vending machines.
