Vending machines are literally everywhere in Tokyo – on footpaths, in hotels, at train stations and sometimes on incredibly random corners. They tend not to be the press-grabbing risqué ones though and are mostly drink machines, sitting quietly in wait, reminding you you’re thirsty at every turn. With drinks so readily available and the novelty of such convenient supply, it’s easy to drink you way through the day! Need a soft drink? A sugary juice? Perhaps a hot coffee in winter? The vending machines offer them all. And you can pay with notes, coins or your train card. Indulge yourself to your heart’s content, but you might want to think about saving your calories for the breakfast buffet!
