Japan 2014: Street Drink Vending Machines

One of the things we noted was the proliferation of street based vending machines in Japan, these can be everywhere but especially in highly visited public places like train stations. Supplying a various range of soft and sometimes alcoholic drinks.
Prices vary slightly from about ¥120 to ¥160 depending on actual selection. Beer is normally between ¥200 and ¥300.

These are often coloured red or blue, red is hot blue is cold. In the summer they are generally blue for chilled drinks. But there are sometimes red for hot coffee options available. All machines seem to take coins and 1000¥ notesnotes and give change.

In the hot summer these are ideal for tourists, meaning you dont need to keep lugging around a supply of hydration.
