Selling everything from food and beverages to manga and even underwear, the vending machine has found a home in Japan. Be prepared for a surprise when you approach the latest incarnation of Japanese vending machines, as they display human intelligence and understanding; recommending the ideal item depending on time of day, the season or even your gender. Some are even kind enough to show your hot coffee or meal being prepared as you wait. Japanese vending machines may even understand you better than your friends do. |

Even if you can't speak Japanese, there's no reason to go hungry. Thanks to the food ticket vending machines featuring pictures of the dishes, you know exactly what you're getting into. If you want a larger portion, keep an eye out for the character (大盛り) which means extra large helping. |
