Retro Vending Machine Restaurant

Visiting a small Retro vending machine restaurant located in a Museum at the countryside of Gifu in Japan

Going there without a vehicle is rather tricky.
We did took public transport though. At Nagoya station we took a JR local train to Gifu station. At Gifu station, we took bus N83 for 38 stops to Shigura. The museum is 5 minutes walk from the bus stop.

Gifu Retro Museum
323 Shigura, Yamagata, Gifu 501-2103, Japan
This is opened on Friday to Monday, 10am to 5pm. Also opens on holidays.

Touring Japan visiting as many vending machines as I can is a bucket list kinda thing for me.... it just looks like so much fun.

Oh man, just seeing this restaurant reminded me of an old Crayon Shin-chan movie. “The Storm Called: Adult Empire Strikes Back”

It really felt like this restaurant is inspired by that exact movie. Oh boy, just remembering that movie made me feel so old…

3:40 They actually had one of those in a lounge in my university. Sandwiches, salads, milk, pudding cups - it was a one-stop lunch spot.
17:17 One of the first ever portable TVs, it was marketed as something to take with you camping or to the beach. Just plug it into your car's cigarette lighter, turn it on, and tune in a station.
(Assuming you could find one, that is.)

Japanese vending mechines are like a arcade and a snack mechine all rolled into one. When you buy food from one of these vending mechines and you win like the jackpot or something it rewards you with free food. Thats one of the reasons why I like japan.

The relief I felt when you finally figured out the cotton candy machine

They had a Kamen Rider V3 statue, that automatically gets it points from me! Y'all were having way too much fun playing Whack-A-Mole, it looked like, too! If ever I get a chance, this is another place I'd have to add to my itinerary of places to go to in Japan.

I miss the vending machines in Japan so so much. This was really fun to see. Too bad I didn't know it was there when I drove through Gifu!

10:31 Just in case the jet fighter doesn't ring a bell for you, that says "MiG" at the top in Russian. Interesting choice for a roulette game! Was fun watching you two go berserk on that whack-a-critter game, too!

It's like the place where everything great things come from. What a blast from the past! I was filled with nostalgic

Extremely good video, I love your travel content. The food reviews are cool but even better when you’re somewhere new trying interesting things. I watch your videos to fall asleep, about 3 years now. Congratulations on your continued YouTube success and have safe travels.

I love the old school Coke machines with the glass bottles. Reminds me of my youth.

[Moi_Gospodin]

Thank you for one more awesome video! I love places like this, miss times when i was boy and visiting local arcade room. Now its closed for almost 20 years already...

[GothicPhantomZero]

Oh man! I may not live there but seeing some of those vending machines remind me of a time when I was young and being able to get a soda pop from an old school vending machine like that with my family. It was amazing!
