Vending machines

One of the real conveniences I've discovered here are the many
vending machines on virtually every street. It comes in handy when
it's 100 degrees. They sell water, power drinks, many flavors of iced
tea for about 120yen ($1.20). There are also cigarette and beer
machines too and only recently did one need an ID card to purchase
something from one of these. (Young Japanese seem to like a smoke or two and it's still allowed in restaurants.) Although I haven't seen it yet, I hear there are machines
that sell fruit and even underwear! (More about fruit later)
