Vending Machine Corner at Chuko Tire Ichiba in Sagamihara
100 retro vending machines at this fully lined hot spot.
The Used Tire Market Sagamihara Branch in Sagamihara City is a spot like you’ve never seen before, complete with 100 vintage vending machines from the 1960s to 1970s all in a line. This vending machine heaven was first installed to entertain customers waiting for tire changes with just 20 units at the start. Over time, more and more machines joined the ranks from nearby closing drive-ins and other spots, bringing this location to a near-museum collector’s level.
Anything you fancy from bottled drinks, cola and shaved ice to even omikuji (fortune slips), the most popular across the whole line up are the hot food machines serving udon noodles, hamburgers, and curry by the coin. Many of these machines spark old-world memories for generations, while novice patrons still find them fresh and new. Swing by this retro vending machine mecca on the weekend and step into the warmth of days gone by.
Large parking area in front of the vending machines so you can park and check out your swag, just like the classic drive-in atmosphere of old. Inside the tire shop sits a retro game corner known to draw quite the buzz. Most vending machines are coin-operated, and while there’s a change machine in the game area, it’s only available during the tire shop’s business hours, so make sure to bring coins if you’re visiting late at night.
