Tanabata (七夕, tanabata?, meaning "Evening of the seventh") is a Japanese star festival, derived from the Chinese festival, Qi Xi (七夕 "Thr Night of Sevens")

220px-Tanabata.jpgIn present-day Japan, people generally celebrate this day by writing wishes, sometimes in the form of poetry, on tanzaku (短冊, tanzaku?), small pieces of paper, and hanging them on bamboo sometimes with other decorations. Many areas in Japan have their own Tanabata.

It is easy to find a vending machine in Japan. It's ubiquitous lol.

 

Usually, canned and bottled drinks are available from a vending machine.

 

From 23rd of June 2010, banana became available from the vending machine.

As of today, there is only one vending machine that sells banana.

It is installed in Shibuya.
