Add booth think is one of the most interesting place, vending machine reflect Japan's unique culture. Japanese people worked hard, takes the convenience, but there are other reasons make the popularity of vending machine in Tokyo, such as: 1. The labor cost is dick, an economics professor at the university of wheat (Ian William A. 麦凯克伦) Pointed out that Japan's falling birth rates, an aging population, lack of immigration, labor scarce and costly. Wheat in 2008, a total by Ian treatise points out that Japanese vending machine is one of the solution of the problem, a vending machine can save a part of the salesman of the labor force. Kobe university economics at Paris ( Robert Parry） In 1998 also advocates in the book, high labor costs are Japanese retailers so embraced the vending machine.

High population density, high real estate prices in Japan is the world's highest population density, 93% of the population lived in the city, therefore real estate prices are high for decades, urban residents have been forced to live in cramped apartment. Although the urban land price falling in Japan in the 1990 s recession, rallying again soon after. This goods on behalf of the Japanese people do not have too much space to store consumption, Japanese companies would rather to a vending machine in the street rather than open a retail store.

Booth was surprised, Japan is still heavily dependent on cash transactions. In the United States, unless cash only restaurant, he almost every transaction can use a debit card or credit card. But in Tokyo, many stores do not accept credit card shopping. In Tokyo, therefore, as you will take a lot of cash on me, including notes and COINS, COINS denominations from 50 yen and 100 yen to 500 yen. Booth, end the trip to Japan, a pocket full of heavy change. He also found that put money into the vending machine to buy drinks is a good way to get rid of the change. 5.
