Saitaman 1 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 .... from your home? Let's see who lives the furthest from one. Shops don't count, has to be a stand-alone vending machine. If you are not in Japan, make a note of it! I'll start. 10m. Link to post Share on other sites
sanjo 2 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Haha good one. 20m in one direction and 40m the other. If I want more exercise, I turn left. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Probably 40m or so. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 quite far for me actually, must be a good 200m! Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Not in Japan. Probably 5km. I see a pattern... There is no "k" required in distance if you are in Japan. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Not in Japan. There isn't one in the town I live in and I haven't seen one in any towns nearby. Honestly not sure how far I'd have to go. From my house in Japan probably about 80m. Link to post Share on other sites
@tokyo 14 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 4m from the front of my building. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 The nearest one to me is actually probably close to 1km away. Pretty shocking, I know. Obviously I live in an underdeveloped area, in desperate need of some chilled cola and tea! Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Oh about 200m up the road for me. Quite far considering I live in a well-populated area. Obviously, there's not just one but 6 machines some of them selling the same things. Link to post Share on other sites
Karnidge 2 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 200m One thing I want to know is, who owns these things? Especially the ones that are seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 About a 5 min walk from my house, so about 1/2km. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 200m One thing I want to know is, who owns these things? Especially the ones that are seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Depends on who owns the land. Family friend "owns" one, and makes a small percentage on the total sales. Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 About 3 meters.....and it's MINE.....bwahhaaaaa ha haa..... Actually, it's my wife's but..close enough.. Link to post Share on other sites
1 4 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 An owner! Go on tell us more. Does it make good money, do you decide what goes in there, one company only, does it light up at night, can you turn down the settings, etc? Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 5-6 meters... Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 An owner! Go on tell us more. Does it make good money, do you decide what goes in there, one company only, does it light up at night, can you turn down the settings, etc? Actually,,,, it's not "ours". It just sits on our land. I'm pretty sure its just a minor percentage of sales. Other than the contract it's hands off. I'll have to ask my wife about it. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I'm kind of interested in that lot as well Chriselle. Can't believe that most of them do much business. After all, when there's 10 lined up all together...! Link to post Share on other sites
HeatherLocklearRocks 1 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I have a good 500m to get to one. As you can guess, I really need to plan things because of this inconvenience. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Back at my parents home in the UK, I can't think of ANY in my town. None. None that are outside of a shop, anyway. Here, it's just up the road a few hundred m. Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Our closest ones are 450m away, but they're outside an old corner shop. I dunno where the closest standalone one is, but would guess at at least 1500m. The conbeni might be closer. Link to post Share on other sites
Saitaman 1 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 Outside a shop counts. Link to post Share on other sites
iiyamadude 6 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 About 1km Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Can't think of any off-hand. One down the sports centre a 5km away from my home. Link to post Share on other sites
mina2 6 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 300m in one direction, 500m in the other. Both sell pretty much the same. Wonder how many of the things there are in Japan? Madness. Link to post Share on other sites
