Japanese Beer Machine

Beer vending machines....Japan has them! Awesome technology and a brilliant idea in my opinion. They aren't so common. I have only seen a few in my time here and always at an inappropriate time (for example, going to work in morning.....not a good time for a drink!).

I'm on vacation now and was kickin around Kyoto this afternoon. Low and behold....a beer machine. I'm on vacation, no worries, no responsibilities...time to enjoy!

Japan is the only place I've seen these. Obviously none in North America. There are none in Korea. If you've seen them elsewhere, let me know....I'm curious :)

Actually in Japan almost everyone is polite and obedient. The kids don't even try to buy the beer. If they do, its like disgracing their family. Their culture is different from those of Americans so don't be ignorant saying the "kids will buy the beer" and "American laws are too strict."

今では酒もタバコも自販機で簡単に買えなくなったからね。不便で­すよ。

These are very common within hotels, but rarely see them out in the streets. Every onsen hotel has one! Good after a warm bath hehe

@TheHolyBong nope you can get 3 cans of labatt blue for 6$ and sometimes corner stores or gas station have singles on sale u can get a great deal best one I got was 1.25$ for a 473ml can of tecate i grabe 20 cans cost me 25$ :) so it all depends on the location. now if ur thinking Ontario I understand a 24 of Heineken in Quebec would go for 25-26$ but in Ontario it's maybe 46-47$
