I was on Lisa Katayama’s blog tokyomango.com and saw her recent entry of a cool special edition vending machine. This most unusual vending machine was found near my dad’s apartment in Otsuka….. it dispenses batteries!! I should have double checked to see if it was still operational, or if it was just an old relic that no one had carted away yet. I mean, it looks like it was put in place in 1985!! You know what would be cool? If there was a vending machine museum in Tokyo! Wouldn’t that be cool? They have every other type of museum you can think of (parasite, tobacco, salt, etc.). How about one that people actually want to see?
