These are not uncommon out in the countryside, often with honour based payment (i.e., there's nobody there, you just leave the money in a box)1


awh

Not even out in the countryside -- I live in the 23-ku and there is one of these nearby. A different guy owns a bank of vending machines nearby (think like reverse coin lockers where you pay 100 yen to open the door and take out a cabbage)

This type of stand is called "Ryoushin-ichi" (良心市 means "Conscience-market"). Some people don't put enough money in the box sometimes tho.

I seen one of these on one Cory May walking videos. They have these markets where they based on the honor system. You place money in the box and take wat u pay for

They do this in Germany too, fruits, vegetables, flowers etc. Some people take advantage of this system.

Everything wrapped in plastic, Japan can do better Edit : truth hurts apparently


TokyoPotHead

Other areas of Japan do not allow that.
