Vending Machines

Should I bring my flask to Tokyo?  In Hawaii it has become a habit to carry a flask of iced water everywhere you go, especially if you have children.  We thought of bringing our water bottles to Tokyo knowing that it might be warm in June, but we made the decision to leave them at home since the goal was to pack lightly.  (Or was that my husband's goal??)

As we traveled around Tokyo, vending machines became a favorite attraction. Our kids would race to the vending machine as they offered different products at each one.  Trying all the various Japanese drinks became part of the unique Tokyo experience.

Water, Soda, Juice, Tea and Coffee can all be found in vending machines everywhere.
This apple juice was my daughter's favorite drink.  She even brought one home!
I especially liked all the different kinds of iced tea.
Vending machines are in train stations, in hotels and throughout the streets of Tokyo.
There are also vending machines selling cigarettes and alcohol.

 Bananas??
 Can you believe you can even purchase a hot meal through a vending machine?
