> Having lived in Korea and visited Japan, ubiquitous vending machines is an absolute game-changer Having lived in Japan, I found the ubiquitous vending machines to be neat (and very photogenic), but I didn't use them more than once or twice a year. If I wanted canned coffee as a (wretched) backup if I slept in, I had a few bought from the super for 39Y a can rather than the machine at 100Y. When skiing, I opted for the (much tastier) 550Y soba from the shop rather than the 150Y corn potage from the vending machine. Cold drinks when checking out tourist stuff in the hot summer was the key use I got from them. And they weren't as absurdly overpriced as north american vending machines (excluding the ones outside walmart and equivalent)
