First, let me say that they’re EVERYWHERE! Whether you’re driving on a deserted road on the outskirts of town or in a major city, in Japan, vending machines a huge part of life!
Inside you’ll find anything from fresh cigarettes, eggs, hot coffee, cold coffee, and tea, to ramen, clothing, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. While we didn’t make it to Tokyo (the best machines are there, in my opinion), Misawa had quite a few interesting ones to offer.
The thing I love most in the machines is the coffee! Always hot (or cold if you prefer), and super delicious! Although there are many to choose from, our favorite brand is Georgia. We love it so much we divided a case, and shipped some to both our sons, and kept a few for ourselves to send home! YUM!
So whether you’re making a road trip, or just looking for a snack, Japanese vending machines are definitely worth a try!
