In Japan, you can find automatic vending machines for soft drinks everywhere.
Varieties of plastic-bottled or canned drinks including coffee, tea, Japanese green tea (both hot and cold), cola and other drinks, (sometimes even hot soup!) are available for 120 yen-150 yen at any time.
We also have automatic cigarette vending machines, but an ID card to identify that you are 20 years old and over is necessary to buy cigarette from the machines.
However, it seems surprising for some overseas visitors to see that the vending machines stay outdoors without getting robbed.
It can be evidence to indicate that the Japanese society is safe.
