Featured product vending machines appeared at the station to meet the needs of passengers

'Iburi Marinated' marinated with Yokote fried noodles and Japanese radish, apple juice...Vending machines selling specialty products from Yokote City, Akita Prefecture recently appeared at Yokote Station. There are no shops at the station to buy souvenirs. The operator will analyze profitability and aim to meet tourist demand and revitalize the surrounding area's economy. There is a convenience store next to the entrance of Yokote Station, but no souvenirs are sold in the store. A station user said: 'There is no place to buy souvenirs.' The profitability of the store type seems to be severe, so I decided to use a vending machine to try to place it in front of the ticket gate on the second floor of the station (city facility). There are seven types, including wild plants such as small sorghum and bracken. In response to the city’s call for cooperation, the vending machine was set up by Miura Shoten, a company responsible for the city’s souvenirs. The beverage vending machine was renamed 'Yorozuya Miura Pocket Store'. The product is contained in a 20 cm long transparent box. It took about three months to complete the case so that the product project can be successfully completed. In addition to changing products according to the season, we will also consider expanding to blank souvenirs, such as business hotels and tourist attractions. Katsunori Miura, 51, is eager to establish a new sales method for Yokote. They want to sell products that traditional vending machines cannot handle.
