In Japan Now
 

So enjoying a nice vacation in Japan, and I am looking for the 24 hour hot food vending machine. YouTube videos state there is one at Kyoto station, does anyone know?

The only places I have seen those have been in parking/service areas on the expressway... It seems like it would be odd to see one in a station as 1) stations aren't open 24 hours, and 2) the hours they are open there are more than enough places to eat in the vicinity. At the very least, a combini.

I imagine there probably is one tucked away somewhere, but...

Are you looking for one of the famous "make ramen while you watch" one, or just anything that serves hot food from a machine?

I just watched one of those videos and it looks like it is located outside of the main entrance, not inside the station.

Thanks I am looking for the hot food machine but the Ramen one sounds interesting too. I will check outside the main enterence next time I stop by the station, thanks so much!

I found it! Next to where all the buses are
