In Japan, you can see vending machines everywhere. Mostly they sell hot and cold beverages, cigarettes, bananas, burgers, edible panties, condoms, origamis (folded paper artworks) but I saw this one (the picture above) for the first time. It’s a vending machine which sells batteries. As you can see, it has a lot of options depending on your need. Just insert some coins and you can have your AA or triple A battery. Easy, peasy, Japaneasy. :)

I've heard about those vending machines.
We were supposed to go not Japan this December but got cancelled because family from the US are coming over to surprise the kids. So we moved our plan to next year. And I hope this time we really get to go. My son likes Japan.

@sol_cee That's why we want to go in winter time. We want to go somewhere really cold.

Everything made easy in Japan. Its only now I learned there's vending machine for panties. Why on earth they need to sell panties through vending machine?

I can't imagine being in that much of a hurry for edible panties... but lol :-) I'd like to see a picture of that one. :-)
Batteries is a good idea :-)

Wow, they actually sell origamis through vending machines? I think that's cute. But yeah I guess if there's a book vending machine, then why not origamis, right?

It would make more sense if they were the cell phone backup batteries to me

even origamis? i guess they don't have time to make them anymore. what are the shapes on sale? do they buy them as gifts? as decorations?

@sol_cee oh, that makes sense (for tourists). do your students (or the younger generation) still know how to make them or are they no longer interested in this tradition?

@hereandthere Origami class is part of their school curriculum. Or so I’ve been told.
