Eugene now has its very own Japanese-style vending machine spot, and it’s quickly becoming a local favorite. Instead of the usual convenience store routine, you can stroll into Yamada Vending Co. and pick up everything from ramen and Pocky to adorable Totoro and Hello Kitty coin purses—straight from a machine. Owner Eimi Yamada, inspired by Japan’s vending culture and her need for flexible work, has created a unique, self-serve snack adventure. With word spreading on TikTok and Reddit, it’s clear people love the novelty and variety. Would you try it, or do you prefer the classic store experience? #Eugene #VendingMachine #JapaneseSnacks
