A careful guide to an everyday icon.

Japan Vending Guide is an independent English-language travel publication documenting the machines, products and social habits that make Japan’s vending landscape distinctive.

Editorial standards

We distinguish confirmed facts from leads, never invent addresses, and flag information that may change. Future spot records will be verified through field visits, operator sources or reliable data partners before being presented as destinations.

Who writes this site

The Japan Vending Guide Editorial Team researches, edits and maintains the collection. Contact details and named contributor profiles can be added as the publication grows.

How we may earn money

We may eventually earn from clearly labeled advertising and affiliate links for relevant travel services. Commercial relationships will not determine our factual conclusions.
