I wasn't able to plan this day very well, so we ended up walking a lot,
but as a result I was able to photograph a lot of vending machines. While
walking around it seems we found a vending machine warehouse with a lot of
empty vending machines. Some of them must have been a bit tired since they
started leaning in each other and lying down.
この日の企画はそんなに良くできなかったから、一杯歩いて、その代わりに多くの面白い自販機を見つけた。一番の目的の笹流ダムに歩く時は自販機の蔵を見つけた。多くの空っぽな自販機の中にいくつかは疲れそうで、偏って寝転んだ。
Next, getting close to our first destination, the Sasanagare dam, we saw
this vending machine seemingly in the middle of nowhere. The park near the
dam is said to be a popular place for sakura and momiji watching, and
there is also a golf course in the background, so there is probably plenty
of people around to use it. However, because even the road isn't paved it
needs it's own little foundation and looks a little out of place.
次はダムの辺りにちょっと離れた所にある自販機だ。ダムの前提広場は花見と紅葉狩りで有名で、写真の背景でゴルフ場もあって、お客は結構いると思うけど。路地に舗装もなくて、自販機は自分の小さい基礎が必要だから、私にちょっと変に見えた。
Later, we visited the Shiki no mori prefectural park, where in the main
building there was a vending machine that served freshly made popcorn. You
could even see the robot hand move the cup into and out of the little
microwave.
後で四季の杜公園を訪れて、管理事務所の建物でポップコーンの自販機を見つかった。自販機はぬくぬくポップコーンを目の前に作って、ロボット手はポップコーンのカップを小さい電気レンジに入れたり引き出したりも見えた。
Finally, on our way home we came across the
first crepe vending machine in Hokkaido. The shop that manages it is called Kinuyaki tutumi Tsuki no Ame and is
right next to it, but unfortunately it was closed when we were there.
Luckily the vending machine worked and we were able to try their delicious
dessert.
最後の自販機は返る時に見つかった。これは北海道の最初のクレープの自販機だそうだ。絹焼包み月の雨という、自販機を営んでいる店はちょうど横にあるけど、残念ながらその時は閉まっていた。でも、自販機のおかげで、店の美味しいデザートを味わえた。
