6. Vending Machines for Everything (and We Mean Everything)
Japan has over 3.8 million vending machines, which means you’ll find one every 30 meters.
You can buy hot soup, umbrellas, flowers, or even neckties when you’re late for work.
Some machines even offer mystery boxes or warm canned coffee on cold nights.
But yes, some — infamously — have crossed into the weird zone (used clothing machines once existed, though they’re mostly gone now).
It’s convenience culture taken to its most creative extreme.
