One of the main reasons is the low crime rate in Japan. So what does it have to do with anything?

If you’ve used a vending machine before, you know that before buying a product First you have to throw the money. This shows that the money is still in the vending machine. Normally, in a country with so many vending machines, you would think that this could be stolen, right? But not so in Japan.

Another logical reason is that Japan has busy working hours.

The reason why vending machines are more common, especially in states such as Tokyo and Aichi, where the workforce is high; in those regions There are more people working. Employees who can relax from intense working hours, of course, take a break from vending machines.
