Vending Machine Wonderland in JAPAN: Over 100 Machines Selling Everything from Ramen to Mask

I went to a used tire market in Sagamihara City, Kanagawa Prefecture. There are about 100 retro vending machines lined up here. This is the only place in Japan where there are so many retro vending machines. You can enjoy a lot of vending machine food. It's a cheap and fun spot. Enjoy the video!!
Actually, this is my second visit. The reason being that there were too many vending machines and I couldn't be satisfied with just one visit.

Keeping so many running and operational is intriguing enough, stocking up all of them is another feat . The one you left the empty coke bottle sells dry batteries. Amazing !

[@experience_japan]

It's indeed a fascinating process to keep so many machines running smoothly and stocked. The variety, like the one selling dry batteries, is truly amazing!

The Japanese Nissin Cup Noodles are far superior quality. That's why we always try to bring some home when we do visit Japan. Experience Japan - I visited Kamakura and Enoshima because of your video and we truly enjoyed it. Thank you for introducing those places to us!

They had the 0.5l glass bottles where I live, screwtop though. I'm glad these bottles made a comeback a few years ago, even though a 0.5l glass bottle Coke costs almost as much as a 1l plastic bottle. And they even make 1l glass bottles now. They're massive!

[@r.fomalhaut7786]

This is so crazy to me because how would you even find suppliers for some of these items that have to be 20+ years old at this point? Being able to see a photo of a dish taken in the 70s and get the exact thing you ordered in the 2020s is fascinating!

Like seriously, who is stocking that hot chicken sandwich machine? And putting fresh pork in that one ramen machine? I'm surprised they don't have people stocking at least one of them at all times

[@casper12134]

@@skeetsmcgrew3282 these dishes The person who restocks the vending machine is the owner of a used tire shop. Ramen, udon and soba dishes are handmade by him.

[@lemmonsinmyeyes]

I would guess he found the main supplier of the machine. Not super sure how it is in Japan, but most hot serve vending machines around me are just industrial microwaving frozen foods from small distributors, the same distributors that convenience stores also buy from (change packaging, or ingredients, but buy in bulk and you can get anything you want). I suspect the packaging is custom bulk orders too, and the owner is removing the plastic covers of the meals and putting them in the ordered boxes. A bit of a pain but nothing too crazy

[@MajesticalHonky]

@@skeetsmcgrew3282 Somebody was stocking one of the machines when he pulled up.

We came from Australia to Japan Just to visit this place, It was So worth it. the food inside these machines is great, the toasted Sandwiches were so good lol, and it was an enjoyable trip going from the inner city to out into this Industrial area where this tire shop is, walking past scrap metal yards, small scale farms and all that stuff in this area on the way to the tire shop, It is So cool this place, we will do it again for sure, My 5 year old had a blast with these machines, and a year on she still talks about them lol,

[@xenomorphphantom8852]

If you open the burger box completely it becomes a makeshift plate,try it next time! At first the Cup Noodles here were the same than those in Japan,but now the contents are different,cultural thing. Those Coca Cola machines can still be found on some places here too,that's the real way to drink Coca Cola! Saludos desde Mexico!

[@donnabursey1457]

I feel like you've been to this place before, but with so many machines and so many choices, you could go many times and never repeat! Except for the ice cold glass bottle of Coke, of course.

Thank you for showing us parts of Japan we would never have seen before!!!

This place is quite simply a living, working museum of Japans vending machine industry, and also its innovation over the decades. This owner. He is a special man, and deserves a lot of praise from the Japanese people for such a wonderful place and achievement! 👌👏 Edit: Also, totally agreed. There really is nothing like drinking coke from an ice-cold glass bottle. The retro machine was awesome btw...

Fun fact about the popcorn vending machine: if I remember correctly, there is a literal Microwave inside it, the popcorn enters the microwave, it cooks it and the whole thing tilts down a bit to drop the bag of popcorn. I seen it in a video while they were doing maintenance with that vending machine

got to the part where you tried the cup noodle vending machine!

I think it's dried leek, not green onion. however both are very enjoyable in their own ways, though i prefer japanese cup noodle, especially the seafood one. now i'm craving those delicious sweet eggs and bits of crab and octopus...

[@BeckyNosferatu]

I've had imported Japanese versions and yes, they are MUCH better than ours. The "mystery meat" is usually beef, which the American does tend to have, but they are extremely small 'bits', I guess? There's also another brand that happens to be sold here in my local grocery store (It's a Kroger based store,) And it has bits of sea urchin in it! I love that so much, it's sooooo, so good!
