I've only visited; when I've had one, I would call it "warm" rather than "hot", mostly because when I think of hot coffee in the US I think of things that are too hot to drink like that McDonald's lawsuit. Google says there are a few ways around the "hot metal can" problem, like an insulated label.
Interestingly enough, Japan has some public trash cans, but not a whole lot in general; the cultural expectation is to bring it home and sort it there. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-05-23/where-are-all-the-trash-cans-in-japanese-cities https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-05-23/where-are...
- dustintrex 5y agoJapan used to have quite a few public trash cans, but they were widely removed particularly from public transport as a security theater overreaction to the Tokyo sarin subway attacks in 1995. But drink vending machines do nearly universally have a trash can next to them, which is (supposed to be) used only for recycling cans.
