On Sunday, our bus left the hotel at 8:15am and we took an hour drive to Wajima. Wajima is a quaint little town located on the Japan Sea coast. It's known for it's lacquer crafts and popular morning market. Both of which we got to experience. First we took a tour of a lacquer workshop and then strolled down the busy morning market streets.
I really enjoyed watching this cute little girl eat her morning soup.
While strolling the market in Wajima, Chris and I notice two vending machines we had not yet seen in Japan before, one selling vitamins and one selling batteries. Vending machines are everywhere in Japan and they sell a variety of necessities. Chris and I got to thinking......"how many different vending machines have we seen in Japan?" We made a list;umbrellas
rice
fresh vegetables
eggs
cigarettes
vitamins
batteries
sake and beer
hot and cold beverages (coffee, tea, soda, water, juice, etc.)
soup
ice cream
meals and snacks (tankatsu, french fries, chicken nuggets, sandwiches, etc.)
