🗺️ Used Tire Market, Sagamihara Store, Vending Machine Area中古タイヤ市場 相模原店 自販機コーナー

In the used tire shop "Used Tire Market Sagamihara" in Sagamihara City, there is a special attraction filled with vending machines commonly seen in the Showa era, specifically from the 40s to 50s. Originally intended for customers waiting to have their tires changed, there were only about 20 machines at first. Later, they acquired machines from closed facilities like drive-thrus, and now there are over a hundred, making it comparable to a museum. Among the various vending machines offering bottled juice, cola, shaved ice, and lottery tickets, the most popular ones sell prepared foods like udon, hamburgers, and curry rice. Just insert a coin, and the machine automatically heats the food for you to enjoy. This nostalgic experience is cherished by those familiar with the past, while young people find it refreshingly new and it has become quite a topic of conversation. On weekends, it attracts many travelers who love this "retro vending machine sanctuary." In front of the vending machines, there is a spacious parking area where purchased items can be enjoyed inside the car, capturing the drive-thru atmosphere. The tire shop also features a retro game area, which is quite popular. Most vending machines only accept coins, and there is a coin exchange machine in the game area, but it can only be accessed during the tire shop's operating hours. If you visit late at night, don't forget to bring enough coins.
