Trip 13 to Japan - October and November 2025 - Page 5 - 446

Because I can read Chinese characters, I now realise this is a rice vending machine station. There are a few grades on offer, the most expensive being 5kg for 5,000 yen ($50). I don't think we have unmanned rice vending stations in Australia. Also, new style bank notes not accepted, 500 yen coins not accepted, yet it is cash only. It really seems as though they prefer to not sell rice.
