  Vending machines are everywhere throughout Japan. Products in them range widely, from drinks cigarettes, sweets flowers, cup noodles to underwear. Vending machines are probably more widespead in Japan than anywhere else in the world.

 Even when stores are closed  items can be purchased from vending machines, so they are convenient for consumers. in addition, it is said that they would be provisions in the case of natural disasters.

 The biggest reason why vending machines have proliferated in Japan is "safety".
