1. A selection of vending machines found in my neighborhood.
   
   Alcohol vending machines are turned off from 11 pm - 5am. The machines in my area don't require any kind of ID. The legal drinking age is 20.
   
   Cigarette machines require a Taspo card to verify your age. The legal smoking age is 20. Filmed in Niihama-shi, Ehime-ken, Shikoku, Japan

2. don't u have to show ID for the cigarettes and Beer? how does that work exactly?
3. People won't typically break laws in Japan because of culture, and the criminal justice system is terrifying.
4. What the sound the begging emmy 
5. Japan really has it all. ;S;
6. Whats yan
7. Whats yan
8. Japanese vending machines are like the best thing EVER. They're everywhere. The drinks are cheap and yummy. I miss them so much an I wish we had vending machines just like that in our country.
9. Rice vending machines? 10kg? omg :D lol
10. so you can buy cigarettes and alcohol even if youre under age? cool
11. What sort of quality can you expect from vending machine items like rice or eggs? How often are they used compared to the supermarket? 
12. That's too good to be true
13. +emmymadeinjapan , can you have water from the tap, in the kitchen? Or the water isn't good/healthy to drink?
    
    I can't stop watching your neighbourhood videos, they are great!

14. Japan is soooo adorable - !!! greetings from Germany
15. Wow the rice even comes out in a bag! That's pretty amazing. I'd love to have some of these here! (Netherlands) especially the hot drinks one!
16. I have a question, if they are selling alcohol beverages in vending machines (I haven't seen that in Poland), a kid can just go by, put in money and take whatever they want just like this? Or it's just not a problem there?
17. Hey Emmy, great video :-)  love to hear more about life in Japan in general
    I'm from Israel and we have lots of drink and cigarettes vending machines.
    I was wondering, since in Japan, there are a lot of vending machines that sell fresh produce (i.e. bananas, eggs and others...) Can you trust the quality of the products? are they always fresh?
    Does the products that are left for a few days get thrown away?
    
     
18. Wouldn't underage people be able to buy smoke & beer if it's in a vending machine 
19. The machines have a scanner for a card you need to have. It's not so much ID because you can get them or you can leave them if you don't smoke or drink. But you do need to have it in order to use those machines. (I assume that you need to be over the legal age to register for the card)
20. amazing! i think the only vending machine here in the Philippines is only for drinks! i'm so amzed that even the eggs are available in a vending machine! coooool!
