Only in Japan: Neck Tie Vending Machine

Around a year ago, Me and my lab mates had a chance to go to Kyoto. We attended RHOM (Electronics component Company) company presentation. RHOM generously payed our traveling cost, 30.000 yen each person, if not we definitely not going. Off course, we also go sight seeing. We go to the famous Golden Temple (Kinkakujin). Beside the bus stop in front of Kinkakujin Temple Entrance, we saw an unusual vending machine (compare to Indonesia). It is neck tie vending machine. I can say that this is only in Japan, despite that I just visiting some countries (Singapore, Philippines, Hongkong, and Taiwan).
