Endangered Species!
Beer vending machines popped up frequently in rural Hokkaido, but after a voluntary ban in 2000 they became a lot less common n the city. Nowadays, I see them only in ryokan and mountain lodges. This one dispenses cans of Asahi beer to guests at Taisho Ike Hotel in Kamikochi.
I love the b&w pic + the ‘endangered’ lol nice touch
Thanks for the comment!
