Visiting Japan's Hidden Vending Machine Restaurant in the Countryside

[@arnavjaiswal4518]

Japan is a place everyone wants to visit once in a lifetime!!!

[@carpmanfishhead7063]

Why only once!? Heh

Travelgeek, I am so happy that you are okay after the devastating earthquake in Japan. I thoroughly enjoy your videos and Happy New Year🎉

私の地元である久喜に立ち寄ってくださりびっくりです😂 と言うより嬉しくなりました！

[@travelgeekphotography]

SuperThanks、本当にありがとうございます🙇‍♂️

[@CorrieHembree]

So glad to see that you have posted a new video so soon after the earthquake there. We have been worried about your safety. We love watching your videos as they show us so many unique places I probably will never be able to visit due to my age and health. I am a 60 year old woman that lives in the state of Texas in the United States. Thank you for informing us about your country. It's a beautiful place!!

[@straightpipediesel]

@@dc_miller5248 has a good point. Here's a little background not in the news: while the earthquake is certainly tragic, the area it affects is small by both Japanese and American standards. Serious shaking affected around 75k population. The whole Japanese mainland is the size of the entire US East Coast. As an analogy, if a tornado hit Macon, Georgia (metro pop 150k), you wouldn't be losing sleep about it, and calling your friends in Washington DC to see if they were safe.

Paper Thanks for taking us off the beaten path and going to out of the way corners and hidden crevices! Love to see this part of Japan too! Stay humble. Good Luck in 2024. Glad to see you are OK from earthquake and airport disasters! Prayers for the victims of those terrible tragedies. 🙏 DD☮️

[@michaelbruchas6663]

Thanks for taking us to a smaller town in Japan. Loved the different train styles. Wish that the US had vending machines like these, 40 years ago we had fresh fruit machines in some train stations. You must have quite an empty stomach to fill - with all of that food! I think that I would like the cold corn soup!

[@Ms.HarmonyJ]

Japan's scenery is absolutely breathtaking and it is definitely on my bucket list because of it.

[@spitfiregriffon1]

R122は日光への下道ルートで何度も通ってるはずですがこんな場所があったなんて知りませんでした 今は貴重な生麺の自販機が3台もあるなんて！　あと汽車の運転台にぐんまちゃんが・・・ほんとに地元で愛されてますね ミルメークは千葉の学校給食では定番でしたね　シロップじゃなくて粉だったからなかなか牛乳に溶けなかったけど 栄養もあり、牛乳を残しがちな子供でもおいしく飲めるので重宝されたんでしょう

It's really neat to see the Japanese countryside, such a different atmosphere from the big cities.

[@andynoble8451]

Vending machines are so cool in Japan! Such amazing food available! Here in the UK people only use them if they are really desperate. I like the range of your videos from super-luxury to basic budget travel. If anything I'd like to see more visits to scenic out-of-the way places like this one.

[@CoffeeHound1]

Beautiful area! Love the waterfall! The vending machines are fascinating! Happy New Year! Thank you for the video!

丸美屋自販機コーナーはレトロ自販機がある山の中の自販機売店。今ではテレビ番組で多く紹介されており大人気です。 自販機は飲み物他もありますが、ここでのメインは何と言ってもトーストやラーメン・うどん・そばのレトロ自販機でしょう。 レトロ自販機と言えど衛生面は気になるところですが、食材は同じ道路脇すぐ近くにあるレストランで供給してて、客の数が多く回転も良いため1日に何回か食材補給と掃除が行われているので心配はありません。 私は蕎麦好きなのでいつも天ぷらそばを食べています。麺類は「当たり付き」があるのがお楽しみです😆

[@JonathonKirkby]

Thank you! What a delightful video. I would love to try the noodles and the burgers here. So interesting to see this attractive small town and the old temple. Your videos are such a pleasure! My suggestion for a video is the Seibu Chichibu railway line to Hanno. I saw a cab-view video of this ride and it looked beautiful. I would love to see you do a scenic ride on a small local railway like this. Thank you always for showing us such interesting parts of Japan!

[@Kal_El_Krypton]

If I’m not mistaken I think the Mirumēku is supposed to be added to milk to make a coffee beverage, but I am not positive. If that’s true then you just tasted the concentrate and is no wonder why you wouldn’t like it too much. Thanks for the tour of a gem of the beaten path.

[@thhseeking]

You blunted my scissors!!! I wish that we had vending machines like here in Sydney :P And that hamburger! Definitely *NOT* from Maccas :D That was a real meat patty. I look forward to your next video. Japan is a beautiful country. I hope that it recovers quickly.

Great video. Ah yes my country's coffee, looks like it's said Sumatera edition, since there's tiger labelled on the can. That's long journey with plenty of train changing, but paid off with beautiful Japanese countryside, definitely different side from big cities. Some vending machine requiring lucky things, and yeah the temple is bit creepy and I'm curious what above the temple? Looks like viaduct carrying road or something?
