Vending machines in Japan - cool & very odd

That is a very interesting thing to check out. I am fascinated by odd vending machines.

Note: 2 or 3 of the machines vend adult items, but the pictures are "safe for work."

Interesting but I hate to tell everyone but they have done away with the beer vending machines or so I have been told.

I've been told that as well, at least in Tokyo.

However, the juice-box sized containers of Sake can still be found.

So you are telling me there is still a reason to go to Japan after all.

Cool thanks.

The bigger containers are sold in convenience stores.

But can I get them in the airport that is the question?

May depend on the terminal. You can definitely get them on the Narita Express.

We stop in Narita on the way to Beijing.

This is good news.

As a side note and off topic (sorry), one of the strangest feelings I have ever had in any airport was in Narita.

I was standing in a hallway and all of a sudden I realized I was the tallest person in sight. I was literally head and shoulders above everyone. I am 6'1" tall and that does not happen in the US or Beijing, but it did in Narita. I felt like giant until I got to the gate to board the jet and there were 2 young Japanese guys standing there talking that were both near or at 7' tall.

The first time I went to Japan I burst out laughing when I saw one of those vending machines, for a soft-drink called Dydo. A friend of mine asked me what was so funny, and I had to explain that a Dydoe is a male genital piercing. :lol:

It was kind've strange when I was in Japan having all of these vending machines everywhere. However, it gave you an opportunity to try new
drink. (juice, pop, whatever) Some were good and some were bad. I tasted my first Coca-Cola Zero there and believe it or not I like them alot.
