Traditional Japanese vending machines

Coca-Cola and Suntory vending machines. In Japan, they can be found everywhere in every town and can be bought 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. You can buy a warm drink in winter and a cold drink in summer for $1 to $1.50 per bottle. The vending machines are multifunctional: they accept electronic payment, they are partially powered by solar energy, and they conserve electricity by dimming the lights during periods of low usage. Some vending machines offer prizes, and if you win, you get another bottle for free. It is rare to win one, though. Get the Trnio app at www.trnio.com
