LXXVI - Tokyo


Japan is the country with the highest number of jidō-hanbaiki (自動販売機, "vending machine") ― jihanki for short ― with one every 23 people.

Most jihanki sell beverages (sodas, water, iced teas, energy drinks, etc) or snacks, but there are vending machines for almost everything, including: fresh vegetables, potted plants, underwear, ties, batteries, shoes, magazines, food tickets and more.

If you visit Japan during the hot summer months you'll come to love the jihanki you'll find on your way!
