That vending machine is really interesting, never seen anything like it before!

Thank you for your comment. There are many vending machines in Japan, all over the country. The development of vending machines with functions to support disaster victims is still in the trial and error stage, and it cannot be said that they are widespread yet, but I think this attempt is meaningful.

Everytime I open a post from JAPAN ORDINARY -photos- I just want to jump on a plane back to Japan. Thank you for sharing always!

I also enjoyed that vending machine photo! I need to check whether my local ones are similalry equipped (many seem to be basic, coin-only models).

It seems that vending machines that can provide drinks even during a power outage are becoming more and more battery-powered, and in fact the only time I have seen a hand-crank powered vending machine was when I took this photo.
