I’ve posted photos of broken Japanese vending machines before. Old and long defunct metal boxes that absolutely fascinate me due to their retro designs and the way they still diligently stand there despite no longer being able to dispense anything.
Stumbling upon even one, however, isn’t a common occurrence, so to find a small collection like below is especially rare. Add to that their colourfully taped up nature and the old shop sign above, and it was a special find to say the least.

I love the colors of these! 🙂
Lee says
Me too. So much to like about them.
Richard says
What a find!
Lee says
I know eh? A very nice surprise.
Richard says
I shared this with my wife and daughter, both of whom love vending machines in Japan!
Linda says
Oh wow, that sign. I wonder how old it is?
Lee says
Yeah, that sign is a wonderful bonus. No idea to be be honest, but got to be very old. Don’t see them made like that anymore that’s for sure.

The upside down Kirin on the left machine in the 1st shot is the perfect detail.
