* Average Price: $9–$15/umbrella* As previously noted, vending machine culture in Japan varies from absurd to genuinely helpful. You can buy an umbrella from an umbrella vending machine if you’re caught in an unexpected downpour without one.

These devices are common throughout Japan and allow you to purchase umbrellas for between $9 and $15 on the spot. Considering that the Asian country receives a lot of rain each year, this is rather beneficial. This is a humid and rainy country, with certain areas being drier than others. In any case, you never know when an emergency umbrella will come in handy.
