The following are the different kinds of claw vending machines inside the game center

Claw Vending Machine- Frozen Food (Strawberries, ice cream, candies)














In Japan, video arcade is known as game center which is very popular here. You can find small game center even in supermarkets in Misawa such as Yokomachi and Super City Asahi.

The claw vending machine is popularly known to Japanese as the "UFO Catcher" because of its claws that look like UFO.

I bet you will browse back to above pictures to check the claws of each vending machine hehehe.

    bertN- they still have a lot of Pachinko Parlor here and I would feature that too in the future. I haven't enough good shots yet :-)

    Reena- I know I put 100 yen I didn't get anything, magugutom ka talaga pag di ka marunong so I ended up going to a ice cream vending machine only 120 yen :-)

    Garando- hahaha, do you really look like otaku?? I only tried the claw machine but I get frustrated, I spent 1,000yen ~$10 without getting anything, but it's fun to play

    Oh Missy!! You always have the coolest things posted at your place. Geez, I'd even play at that arcade and I love seeing that vending machine of frozen foods. Much different from ones here in the States.
    Are you ready for "Friday Shoot-Out's" this week. I am 'almost' ready, lol.
    Take good care and......

    Steady On
