There were vending machines selling anything and everything.
Drinks (hot and cold), beer, cigarettes, ramen, umbrellas, eggs, magazines, train tickets and meal tickets. You buy the tickets and bring it up to the counter to order your food.

The entire front of this building in Ginza was a light show.
I'll put up a video of it in a later post.
