Tiny Origami gifts in a vending machine!
The Origami (folding paper) are made by a local, Ms. Chizuru Okano who owns a small shop right behind the vending machine. The vending machine was for selling cigarettes. Ms. Okano turned it into Origami just for her own fun.
Paper planes, frogs, cranes, hats, golden fish... countless Origami patterns are sold at only 10 yen to 50 yen! Fun to choose what to get, even to just look at.
This unique vending machine attracts adults who have a child heart more than real children.
