Foreigners are surprised to find vending machines all over town with a variety of items sold from bread to fruits and T-shirts to stamps.

Another type of vending machine set in a depopulated town with no convenience stores, provided not only drinks but sweets and snacks, was much valued by the local people. The program will explore cools in Japanese vending machines!
