How do vending machines form a unique culture in Japan

by:Haloo      2021-03-18
Speaking of Japanese culture, one thing that is surprising is their unique vending machine culture. There are vending machines in almost every street in the city. According to data released by the Japan Vending Machine Manufacturers Association, the current number of vending machines in Japan has exceeded 5 million, with annual sales exceeding 60 billion U.S. dollars. Counting down, about every 23 Japanese own a vending machine. The term vending machine is interpreted as a machine that has the function of detecting currency and automatically conducts transactions with customers to help customers purchase selected goods. Japanese merchants put almost everything that can be loaded into the vending machine. In addition to the common beverage and snack vending machines in China, Japanese vending machines also include cigarettes, tea, candy, beer, hot food and even amulets.

The original reason why Japanese vending machines are all over the streets is because of 'poor'. With the development of the Japanese economy in the last century, the birth rate has fallen and the population is aging, leading to higher and higher labor costs. Japanese retailers have begun to introduce a large number of vending machines. The vending machines only require a small number of operation and maintenance personnel to regularly visit operators to supplement supplies. And emptied the cash, which reduced operating costs. With the development of the economy, high housing prices have become another reason for the development of vending machines. Japan is one of the most densely populated countries in the world, with 93% of the population living in cities. High-density population has given birth to high housing prices. In Tokyo, where there is little land and a lot of money, retailers hardly have enough space to store consumer goods. Many companies would rather put a vending machine on the street than open a store. Not only the retail industry, but in the Japanese drama 'The Lonely GourmetIn the late 1990s, Japan experienced an economic bubble, urban real estate and housing prices fell, but retailers were reluctant to rent shops and open stores, because vending machines generate far more revenue than opening stores. A large number of urban residents gave birth to a variety of vending machines. The types of vending machines are gradually expanding, from beverages to food, department stores and other fields. Japanese people, especially those working in Tokyo, are busy at work and time-saving vending machines are the first choice at work. One of the reasons why Japanese vending machines continue to develop from the last century to today is because of Japan's low crime rate, where there are fewer sabotage and property crimes. Japan is listed as one of the countries with the lowest robbery rate in the world. Even if goods worth tens of thousands of yen in vending machines or placed in remote alleys and streets, they are rarely damaged. And many vending machines are equipped with cameras. When the machines are damaged, the cameras will automatically connect to the police station. Another reason is the Japanese dependence on cash. Different from China's increasing proportion of mobile payment in recent years, Japanese people are still keen on using cash. Japanese coins have high denominations such as 50, 100, and 500 yen. When there are a lot of coins in your pocket, it is a wise move to put them in the vending machine. Recently, in order to cater to Chinese tourists visiting Japan, Japanese beverage company Itoen and NEOS, a service provider related to the development of smartphones, jointly developed a vending machine that can be paid using 'WeChat Pay' and is seeking to install it in Japan before the summer of 2018 100 units. A Japanese journalist, Tsutomu Washizu, once wrote a history book about Japanese vending machines. In the book, he attributed the popularity of vending machines to the Japanese love of automation and robots. The Japanese attach great importance to and trust the automation system, and most of the vending machines in Japan have passed the test, with a relatively long life span and a low obsolescence rate. This is one of the reasons why vending machines continue to increase. Perhaps in the near future, Japan will make a movie about superman vending machines to express their love for vending machines. Compared with Japan, China's vending machine industry is still in its infancy. However, with the upgrading of consumption concepts and payment methods of the younger generation, the rise of vending machines in China is just around the corner.
