Trying Japan's Amazing Food Vending Machine Restaurant | Over 100 Retro Vending Machines

[@Scodiddly]

That’s amazing. The owner not only keeps the machines working, but also stocks them with food! 😮

[@Whiistledx]

Yess another video on this location! Love these specifically, thank you so much 🙂

[@tomthomas2268]

Wow they had everything and so cheap! Great video

[@paracog]

Looking forward to your Australian and New Zealand adventures! Thanks for another fun video. 😺

[@Namidagr]

Went on a Sunday ... It was sooooo crowded, l.disnt get to taste most of the foods because everything was selling out very quickly..Don't go on Sundays

[@areareare9953]

This is the first time I've seen a video of Japan that reminds me of East LA. The display of tire rims are on point 😂

[@Niteskate1]

Thank you Kuga. that was a lot of fun to watch, so many amazing old machines, made me hungry watching.

[@858493]

Wow so glad someone has saved those machines, as always Kuga very enjoyable cant wait to the next one regards Doc from Down Under in Australia🌏

[@barbeerian]

Love that old-school soda machine.They used to have one at my beach club in Long Island back in the 70s.

[@asan1050]

Thanks for posting this video.

[@JamesAreySeattle]

After the sun-faded machine graphics, I was surprised how tasty that curry actually looked!

Great video, finally you visited this place. Can't wait for your trip to Australia again and New Zealand.

[@theresawilson3992]

Can’t wait for you to come to New Zealand! 😁

[@markylon]

Nothing of any interest there

[@mikecasey9647]

Absolutely amazing! Who would have ever thought this one up? And so very well maintained - even on his day off - tasty selections galore! I'm impressed.🍔🌮🍟

[@tomburns7544]

So interesting! Thank you for this unusual one, Kuga! I am looking forward to seeing your videos from New Zealand!

[@patrickwong4824]

This is your best video and it is on the vending machines. The prices are amazingly cheap.

[@heyokasd]

Ohhh, okay, I spent the whole video wondering why there were strips of paper tied to the beams like at a shrine, and then I got my answer! 😂 I miss those old-school soda bottle vending machines -- there were a few still around when I was a kid and they always seemed neat.

[@RuthLydiate]

Great to read at the end your coming to N.Z. yeh! If you get the chance, plse consider the TransAlpine coast to coast from Christchurch thru to Greymouth. Gorgeous scenery. Enjoy.

[@lannifincoris6482]

Oh, Ilove to see this place, and each person has a different view and opinion. Thank you Kuga-San for showing us yours.

[@ritties]

Kuga, love your videos.... "Domo... Domo arigato". You make me want to visit Japan.... Thanks again!

[@Ivan-te5rv]

Nice and funny. I liked it. :0)

[@renerivera9715]

Amazing

[@aRVeesBlog]

wow very nice experience friend

[@thany3]

I do have to visit this place at some point 🥰 The hot foods you showed actually don't look half bad, even though they are effectively microwaved. I just wish the portions were a bit smaller, so it's easier on the stomach to try a few more different things 😋

[@JohnJohn-jn2cb]

Two of my sons are in Japan right now. I sent them your video. Maybe they can check this out.

[@paullenoue8173]

Thanks!

[@kugastravel5180]

Thank you!🤝

[@siljasjodin]

Thanks, I really enjoyed your retro vending machine review. It looked surprisingly tasty, the wrinkled hamburger bread too. Are there maybe any Fine Dining vendor machines restaurants? That would be super awesome if so!🥤🍗🍿🍔😋

[@kugastravel5180]

Thank you!🤝

[@af-np4pg]

Like the casual nature of your travels. And in other videos you won't see some of the things you show.

[@Madness832]

Love the vintage Pepsi machine!

[@harrisonlee5854]

When you pulled the grape Fanta, I knew immediately what it was and thought, "oh nooooo" haha.

[@rheel6747]

Such lovely food considering it comes out of vending machines and the prices seem very reasonable indeed. Japan really does look like such a beautiful and interesting country.

[@dianamarie5663]

Thank you. That was interesting.

[@Meldonator]

it was really interesting!! :) Arigato gozaimasu! (I liked the kanji on the omikuji were transcripted in hiragana :3 )

[@sonartech7721]

I’ve seen several channels go to this exact spot. Seems really cool. You’d figure the restocking people would be there constantly.

[@senior_ranger]

How very strange!! Thank you.

[@Desmaad]

I find it hilarious this is in an industrial park.

[@williamstephens9945]

I've seen this place before. I love it! 10:36 that one looks really nice.

[@tremorist]

Come back and make an interview with the owner.

[@dougwilliams8602]

🌹👍🖐😊Enjoyed watching you eat out of the vending machines

[@MornlunarChang]

這個地點最近在台灣的KZbinr介紹下也在台灣出名了，而我是從《昭和懐かし自販機巡礼》這本書上看到的，去年12月我也到這裡巡禮過，熱騰騰的漢堡和蕎麥麵在冷冷的冬天裡真的很撫慰人心。 儘管現場維持的乾淨整潔和機器都能正常運作，不過有一個小缺點是前面販賣拉麵的機器似乎有點漏出湯汁，造成一股發酸的異味在空氣中飄散。

[@renesauer5841]

Whenever I see a video of this place the burger from the vending machine look revolting to me... But everything else, top, really. I always love seeing this place and peoples reactions to it!

[@rogerbrown5558]

Living in NZ I would like to see your experience, good and bad. Do you ever meet up with subscribers, help you out?

[@dianamarie5663]

Anyone remember the Automats in New York City years ago? I do!

[@TheUluxian]

"Abroad in Japan" did this place a while back and rated all the machines. As I recall, there was one ramen machine that they thought was pretty good

[@ou81aswell]

Very interesting. I hope the food packages were not manufactured decades ago!

[@Floortile]

Great fun to do - once 😉

[@thehapagirl92]

So cool they have a burger one

[@Xoferif]

Japan truly is a land of wonders!

👍👍

[@allentoyokawa9068]

In the west all of this would be looted and vandalized; all those rims would be long gone too lol

[@markylon]

Well not everywhere is a hell hole

[@buzz5969]

Vending machines been a thang in Japan since the 80s lol

[@helenel4126]

Wow. I wish my car mechanic would have this in his customer waiting area. Gosh; the last time I was in Japan was 27 years ago (ouch). I might have used some of these machines, or ones like it.

[@dcrom]

I don't understand the term "retort" food... Help me, please! Thanks again, Kuga san. I remember some of those machines from my youth in the USA. It is impressive what you have over there. A biologist friend visited Tokyo in the late 70's, had trouble buying a train ticket from a machine in the station; the machine opened up and a PERSON INSIDE IT handed her the ticket! ✌🤟 Arigato beaucoup!

[@daudder]

What a find...but you must have an iron stomach...wowza.

[@libbyjett3471]

That curry rice looked yummy

[@dmitriinikolaev917]

A hamburger vending machine is a very good idea for the hard snack. Damn, why there isn't something like this in other countries, especially with cold climate(

[@elcasho]

Australia / NZ, would love to have a meal with you

[@elena_fita]

How often they usually update the food inside?))

[@markylon]

Daily

[@aeonwhetu]

Are you going on the Tranz Alpine train while here in NZ by any chance 🤔

[@anicetn3326]

How is the food in there still good after decades? Or the same companies restock them still

[@ald.3500]

🤦🏻‍♂️

[@williamstephens9945]

The owner has contracted new companies to produce foods that are compatible with the machines.

[@anicetn3326]

@@williamstephens9945 Thanks for the info

[@markylon]

You fool😅😅 food is fresh everyday

[@orangehoof]

Question: If you drink a Fanta soda, is that considered Fantacide? Those machines will be the wave of the future. Can you imagine some American karen getting uppity because the machine didn't pour ketchup on her french fries?! Ha!

[@jacqudace]

Interesting! At first I was afraid you were going to eat 30 year old food 😅

[@kugastravel5180]

Thank you!🤝

The place where I buy tires has a waiting room that smells like roach killer and a coffee pot that's been brewing for a month.

[@brianjvigneault7056]

dude.... lol!!!

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

the curry rice was already heated in the machne before you got it

[@lannifincoris6482]

I think the curry rice is supposed to be brought home and eaten there.

@@lannifincoris6482 if the tire shop was open then you could have eaten at the table ut the machine kept the currty rice war

I'm really wondering what do you do for a living since you're good with English and you seem to like travelling to all these English-speaking countries.

[@markylon]

Japan is not an English speaking country 😅😅😅

Don't apologise for it being a Wednesday X'D You can't control that X'D

[@MaxLSilver]

TIL what "retort food" or "retort pouch" means

[@KaseyWynne]

Why did the popcorn machine say 'choco" when you said it was caramel flavored? Does choco mean caramel in japan? I would've assumed it was chocolate flavored if I was looking at it.

[@mrsumo1]

There were pieces of tape with hand-written labels for the "butter flavored" and "caramel flavored" that told the actual flavor you would get. I guess the owner could not get the original flavors like chocolate for the machine.

[@KaseyWynne]

@@mrsumo1 Oh, i see. thank you.

[@tally1604]

The concept would never work in my country, as the vending machines would be vandalized the first night. Plus, most regular vending machines selling Cola, chips, and suh, are not stocked regularly, so more often than not they stand empty.

Pork needs to be well cooked. Worth the wait for food safety.

If those vending machines were in America, they would've been destroyed or stolen on their first day of operation.

[@lindaschrier2330]

You would think with all the publicity this place has gotten from all the Japanese vloggers, that the owner would have purchased and set up a few decent tables and chairs . That business of standing , eating and balancing containers of hot food on a banister .... pass

[@mattvone]

What awful waste of resources! So much plastic and throw away junk.

[@AlchemistDD]

Warum tust Du Deinem Körper so was an? Jedes Mittagessen bei McDonalds ist gesünder als das!

[@markylon]

These aren't retro they're vintage. Vintage means old machines, retro means MODERN machines made to look old. The two terms are often mistakenly used incorrectly interchangeably. These are VINTAGE and NOT retro

[@isobelhunter4651]

🙄

[@vickyschnorbus4166]

Looks like my fellow Americans were there. Trash all over the place. Sorry about that.

[@kostja8896]

No offense intended, but eating these machines is like eating McDonald's or Burger King every day. To be honest, I would cook what I can myself, it's much healthier. than this automaton eats pigs. Even pigs wouldn't eat it

[@Carloso6547]

Horrible 🤢
